A vibrant Chenin Blanc with brilliant clarity. A burst of tropical and stone fruit aromas, ranging from passion fruit and melon to yellow-fleshed peach. The palate is beautifully structured with layers of grapefruit, pear, and tropical fruits. Lively acidity contributes freshness and length, making this an exceptional summer wine. A true expression of Simonsig terroir.
Grapes are handpicked, crushed, and some lots are given overnight skin contact. The juice is cold settled to brilliant clarity and inoculated with selected yeast strains, known for producing very fruity wines. The fermentation temperature is kept between 12-14°C to ensure a slow fermentation and optimal fruit flavor production.
