Catherine Marshall Chenin Blanc Fermented in Clay 2022

Catherine shows off her winemaking magic with this beauty. As an independent winemaker she has the flexibility to combine grapes from two regions to highlight the best attributes of a South African Chenin Blanc. The majority of the grapes come from the cool climate of Elgin which gives the wine its delicate structure and floral aromas. She has added in a small portion of old vine Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch which layers in fruity flavours of pear and apricot. On top of that she has added some retrained winemaking magic, spontaneous fermentation in clay amphora, partial malolactic fermentation and a small portion aged in French oak to name a few. Described as 'the benchmark' by one critic, this is a must have if you want to understand why South African Chenin Blanc is 'a thing'.
