22 Families Chenin Blanc Old Vine Certified 2023

22 Families OVP Chenin Blanc is all about freshness, balance and texture. The nose shows citrus, peach and apricots; and the palate a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and a long mineral finish.

Wine produced from vineyards planted between 1980 and 1986. Dry Mediterranean Climate.

A mix of shale with underlying clay and sandy soil.

Once hand-harvested, the grapes were hand-sorted, de-stemmed & crushed into temperature-controlled gravitational drainers. Only the free-run juice was chilled and settled overnight and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine was left on the fine lees for 6 months before being blended with a component of lightly oaked wine that had been matured in 500L 3rd& 4thfill, French oak barrels for 6 months; and then finally filtered and bottled.
