Bad Brothers Chenin Blanc

Vineyard:
A fourteen-year-old vineyard standing on loamy soil with an east/west row direction and perfect exposure for ripening.

Climate:
Enough cold during the preseason ensured even budding. Moderate conditions prevailed during most of the harvest with cool nights. Overall, the conditions are very good for ripening and harvesting.

Harvest:
The development of the grapes were meticulously monitored, and picked at the optimum ripeness during the third week of February. The grapes were night-harvested by machine. Production of 9000 litres per hectare.

Winemaking:
Grapes harvested at 21 B, destemmed, crushed, and only very clear juice are fermented with Vin7 yeast in stainless steel tanks at 13°C. After fermentation, the wine was racked of the lees, stabilised and bottled.

Tasting Notes:
Light, straw colour. Pear drops and pineapple fruit on the nose follow through on a medium-bodied, well-balanced palate. Good acidity ensures good length and freshness. Ideal with seafood.
