Kleine Zalze Project Z Chenin Blanc 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R490
‘Was ‘Chenin Blanc Amphora’. 2019 harnesses fruit from 3 vineyards, 12-hour skin contact, ferment/9 months lees ageing in amphora. Thrilling purity & vivid acid balance ripe stonefruit richness. Compact & mineral, a compelling wine.’ – Platter’s Guide, 5*(96/100)
‘Grapes from Firgrove vineyards on decomposed granite planted in 1983 and 1984. Left on the skins overnight (12 hours) before being fermented and matured for nine months in amphorae. Expressive aromatics of white peach, hay and herbs while the palate has excellent fruit expression, bright acidity and long, savoury finish. Great intensity of flavour without becoming too rich or thick-textured.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'Voluptuous, statuesque, stylish, with ripe stone fruit richness superbly poised on an acid and mineral backbone. Pear, peach, apple plus some yeasty complexity on the nose. The palate shows impressive purity yet richness and bright acidity with a slightly savoury finish.' – Kleine Zalze
