Bellingham The Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2016

Coastal Region, South AfricaChenin was sourced from Agter-Paarl, Durbanville and Bottelary Hills for this tribute series wine, named for the winery's founder, Bernard. The dry 2016 vintage concentrated fruit and flavours in this granitic-soiled, old bush vine (averaging 45 years) white, already low yielding and ripe fruited. Whole bunch pressed, this spent one year in French wood (half new) with regular batônnage. Heady white peach, lush pear, fynbos honeysuckle is seasoned with big wood spicing and based by a creamy, rich palate. Chenin's hallmark acidity helps keeps this big wine taut, and will aid its time in the cellarTasted: 11 July 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
