The Opstal Estate Carl Everson Chenin Blanc is an incredibly sophisticated and accomplished representative of this noble grape variety. Its delicate bouquet opens with a heavenly melange of fine lemon cream, fragrant quince and tropical pineapple. Muscular, expressive yet nuanced and complex, this highly endowed Chenin Blanc pampers the palate with delicious nuances of layered stone fruit and creamy yeasty notes. Its fresh acidity brings a welcome balance to the luxurious opulence and completes this masterful treat.

The grapes for this premium Chenin Blanc were hand-picked with great care at optimal ripeness. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were left to ferment naturally or wildly in the barrel. No commercial yeasts or enzymes are added to wild fermented wines to initiate the fermentation process. Only wild yeasts, naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit, set the fermentation process in motion here. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured in large oak barrels for 10 months before being bottled.
