WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Welmoed Chenin Blanc is produced from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes. The fruit is harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for two months to enhance complexity. No wood treatment is used in the winemaking process.
