Springfontein Estates Walker Bay Chenin Blanc 750 ml
Lovely, rich aromas of apricot and pear drops. Creamy and spicy on the palate with huge length.
This Chenin Blanc is true to the terroir characterized by cool climate and limestone soils. It has fresh fruit aromas on the nose, rich minerality and soft acidity on the palate. The oak aromas are well integrated and very subtle on the taste. The palate is lively, creamy and finishes off well with good length. fermentation in egg-shaped amphoras (61%) and 3rd-fill barriques (39%)
From the pure active limestone rim of Springfontein under the ocean’s cool breeze, this Chenin Blanc with its great ageing potential is a wonderful expression of our estate’s unique “Kalksteen” terroir, its particular fynbos vegetation around, the Antarctic Sea waters close behind and the massive cloud catching Kleinrivier mountain range just in front.
