Wolf & Woman Chenin Blanc 2020
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaThis chenin comes off old dryland bush vines in Swartland's iron rich (Malmesbury) and decomposed granite soils (Paardeberg). This was native fermented and matured in old French oak for 10 months. This fills the palate with chenin's characteristic waxiness, making a bed for flax, wild lemon, and broken stones. The old vines and old wood provide an alluring texture to the medium body, which stretches long into a dusting of salts. Quite profound, especially considering this is a debut effort from winemaker Jolandie Fouché. Only 1300 bottles produced.Tasted: 18 April 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| England | $18.00 | 750ml | England (GBP) |
