David Finlayson 'Camino Africana' Old Vines Chenin Blanc Stellenbosch , 2021

David Finlayson 'Camino Africana' Old Vines Chenin Blanc Stellenbosch , 2021

Regular price $24.00

This wine is 100% old vine Chenin Blanc from South Africa. "Camino Africana" means African Way, which is David Finlayson's way of saying that he is not attempting to emulate any old world wine region, but rather showcase the unique terroirs of Stellenbosch. A fuller style of Chenin Blanc than its cousins in the Loire Valley, this wine is loaded with rich citrus, brioche, apple, and pear. A perfect match for shellfish, spicy Asian cuisine, or rich fish dishes.

Details

All grapes were hand-picked from two gnarly bush-vine vineyards of bush vines, planted in the 1960’s and 1970’s, on very sandy, free draining soils. The beauty of old vines is that they have deep root systems and hardly seem to be affected by the previous 4 year drought. Grapes were whole bunch pressed and then fermented with wild yeast in older French oak barrels. Lightly sulfured after primary fermentation to prevent MLF, followed by 12 months barrel maturation, on the lees. The wine was made with the absolute minimum intervention and to allow the
old vines to express the true flavors of the site and variety with as gentle a human touch as possible.
