Bloemcool Vis n Tjips
R170.00
A unique combination of two hot climate varieties, this white blend is a beautiful compliment to fresh, seafood based dishes. On the nose, enjoy a combination of quince, white peach pit and semi-dried apricots. This is a succulent and well-integrated blend, very much about texture as well as flavour. The long finish has more of a lime hit which is completed by well-integrated oak and a fresh mineral finish.

Description
A blend of 50% Chenin blanc and 50% Verdelho. The Chenin blanc from the upper slopes of Paarl mountain was handpicked and destemmed. The grapes were not pressed immediately, instead we fermented the juice on the skins for 3 days before basket pressing. Fermentation continued in a 4th fill french oak barrel. The Verdelho was whole bunch basket pressed and fermented in a 4th fill french oak barrel. Both wines stayed on the lees for 10 months before blending and bottling.
