Buck's Ridge 2005 Chenin Blanc Wine

This vintage was produced in a European Style from a blend of barrel and tank fermented Chenin Blanc grapes sourced from a single block of very old, low yielding Tulbagh vines. The 25 barrel fermented component was vinified in 225 litre French Oak barrels and left on the lees for +- 6 months with regular stirring of the lees before being blended with the 75% tank fermented component . The result is a fresh, crisp and easy drinking Chenin Blanc with a mineral nose counterbalanced by a fruit packed palate and long finish, making it the ideal partner for meat, fish and pasta dishes.
