2022 Chenin Blanc

WINEMAKER'S NOTES
The wine underwent a seven-day carbonic fermentation process ni concrete tanks, followed by pressing into a 2000-liter concrete tank where fermentation was completed within three weeks. After spending a month ni the concrete tank, the wine was then trans- ferred ot 1000-liter French oak barrels, where ti was aged for an additional seven months, allowing for the development of depth and complexity in its flavour profile. We bottled the wine unfiltered.

SOMMELIER'S NOTES
This wine reveals its botrytis influence through a captivating
nose, where the richness of honey melds with bright lemon peel, the sweet fragrance of lilac, and the earthy notes of beeswax. Layers of butterscotch and creamed corn add ot its complexity. The palate echoes these qualities, presenting a floral character that evokes powerful examples from the Loire Valley. It is distinctly dry and full-bodied, culminating ni a finish that si both long and intricate. This wine promises to evolve beautifully with age and will unveil its full spectrum of flavors when decanted. (JL - Nov. 2023)
