WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cape of Good Hope Chenin Blanc 2020 is produced from grapes of selected, predominantly older vines. A key winemaking technique involves partial aging in French oak for eight months, during which the wine is stirred on its lees. This process aims to develop texture and integrate flavors. The 2020 vintage was influenced by temperate weather conditions that promoted quick and even grape ripening.
