Technical Analysis
This is the entry level Chenin Blanc, one of three made by Kaapzicht (Cape View) which is named after its stunning views over Cape Town and Table Mountain.
Tasting note
Ripe quince, pineapple and stone fruit with some interesting savoury undertones. Lightly textured palate, with a hint of sweetness and balancing crunchy acid, results in a brisk finish.
Vinification details
Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, crushed and gently pressed. After pressing, the juice is settled in stainless steel tanks overnight. The clean juice is racked to its fermentation tank where the juice is inoculated with specially selected yeast strains to illustrate true varietal characters. After fermentation the wine is racked off its gross-lees, and stored in full tanks on the fine-lees until bottling. Prior to bottling the wine is stabilized and filtered. Final additions are made before bottling under inert conditions with CO2 ranges between 1200 and 1100 mg/L

Vinification details
Kaapzicht’s Chenin Blanc was made reductively. Grapes were harvested during the early morning hours in cool temperatures and were given ± 8- 10 hours’ skin contact. Enzymes were then used to help extract flavours while on the skins, as well as VIN 7 Yeast. The wine lay on the lees for three months before being racked, cleaned and bottled.
