Beaumont Family Wines Chenin Blanc Walker Bay 2022

Beaumont Family Wines Chenin Blanc Walker Bay 2022

Our Chenin Blanc was made from 100% Beaumont, Bot River fruit. This is fruit filled unwooded Chenin Blanc. The vintage produced plenty grapes with good concentration following a beautiful and healthy growing season.  It is a delicious example of cooler climate Chenin Blanc fermented in concrete and stainless-steel tanks using a combination of cultured and natural yeasts. Matured after fermentation on the lees to add some extra weight and complexity to the wine.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS  |  The 2022 vintage produced another year of great healthy fruit. Good cold winter with lots of rain followed through to the summer. Cool conditions persisted right through the ripening time allowing the fruit to develop lots of intensity on the vine.

VINIFICATION  |  Early picking to preserve freshness, and balance in the wine. Our new press produced gave us very clean juice and I think it has had a very positive effect on this vintage. Long slow fermentation

MATURATION  |  Average of 4 months on gross lees in tank.

AGEING POTENTIAL  |  3 - 5 years

RATINGS & REVIEWS  |  Since our first vintage in 1996 we have committed to making a style of Chenin that captures the purity of the grape. Previous vintages have been regular 4 star wines in Platter.

FOOD PAIRING  |  Great with seafood, especially shellfish and spicy Thai and Indian curries.
