Albertus Viljoen Chenin Blanc
Chenin
Breede River
2015
Made in small quantities at the wine estate located in the Breede River, this is a special wine that only a few people will ever taste. Albertus Viljoen Chenin Blanc is the best of the best made at Alvi’s Drift. Hand selected in the vineyard and whole bunch pressed, the wine is fermented in barrel with a selection of wild and cultured yeasts. The wine has a light and brilliant straw colour which catches and reflects light like cut crystal.
On the nose: nectarine and peach fruit characters and integrated toasty oak characters.
On the palate: rich and creamy with a viscous mouth feel. Aromas of roasted cashew nuts and vanilla pods tease the senses. Soft, full and round but elegant, the palate lingers for an eternity.
