Man Vintners, 2010 Chenin Blanc.

Grapes: 100% Chenin Blanc.

Tasting Note: Tropical fruit, guava and melon aromas, crisp and bold sweet citrus backed by refreshing acidity and minerality characteristic of the coastal vineyards.

Vinification Note: Sourced from various vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. Mostly un-irrigated, older (10-35 yr old), bush-vine (un-trellised) vineyards with low yields of 6,5 tons/ha. Only free-run juice used in producing this wine. After settling the must was inoculated and allowed to ferment over 20 days in stainless steel tanks at an average fermentation temperature of 13 degrees centigrade. The wine was left on its lees for 3 months until bottling for richer and fuller mouth-feel.

Food Matching: A versatile food wine to go with most poultry, fish and salad dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. Serve chilled.
