Vinification of the Chenin Blanc from Allesverloren Estate

The basis for the balanced Chenin Blanc from Coastal Region are grapes from the grape variety Chenin Blanc. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for Chenin Blanc are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After the hand harvest, the grapes quickly reach the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
