Apply Within Chenin Blanc, WO Paarl

The sister wine to WIT; a leaner, more subtle expression of skin ferment Chenin Blanc

Production

20% of the blend is our WIT skin ferment Chenin, raised in Clayver ceramic egg, the other 80% is made up of 2 pickings of Eenzaamheid Chenin Blanc, one early to retain freshness and crisp acidity and one a little later to provide some broader brush strokes. The Eenzaamheid portion is aged in used 600l French oak for 9 months. 

Tasting Note

Immediate notes of bright citrus and pear, it's only as the wine develops on the palate that the pithier side from the skin ferment portion begins to shine through.

Food Match

Drinks very happily on its own but really comes into its own with barbecued meats or anything with a garlic and herb crust.
