2019 Metzer Maritime Chenin Blanc

The 2019 Metzer Maritime Chenin Blanc is sourced from bush vines planted in 1980, located just 4 kilometers from the shores of False Bay. The maritime influence and unique terroir of this site are beautifully expressed in this Chenin Blanc.

Handpicked in the early morning to preserve fruit integrity, the grapes underwent a gentle pressing after a brief period of skin contact. The juice was settled overnight naturally, without enzymes, and then transferred directly to seasoned French oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation. The wine is aged on its lees for nine months, without batonnage, ensuring a pure and authentic expression of its grape and origin. 

On the nose, the 2019 Metzer Maritime Chenin Blanc radiates aromas of pear, white peach, and lemon, with subtle hints of white spice and orange blossom. The palate follows with bright stone fruit flavors, rich texture, and a thrilling line of acidity, culminating in a persistent, elegant finish.

A simply stunning example of quality, terroir-driven South African Chenin Blanc!
