OFF THE RECORD CHENIN BLANC 2021

The Uncensored Version – a project of heart, produced as a collaboration between brothers, Mark and Bobby Wallace.

This is our fourth vintage, produced from a small parcel of Chenin Blanc grapes sourced from within the cool-climate district of Elgin.  Chenin Blanc is something of a rarity in Elgin and only 2300 bottles of the Off the Record Chenin Blanc 2021 were produced. 

Description:

The wine has an attractive pale straw colour. The nose leads with appealing citrus notes, which unfold onto the palate with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The broad spectrum of citrus, underlying minerality and gentle wooding have contributed to the complexity of this Chenin Blanc and culminate in a long lingering finish.

Winemaking:

• Wild ferment and barrel aged for 10 months in 2nd , 3rd & 4th fill barriques. The wine underwent partial Malolactic fermentation in barrel. No added enzymes, yeast and fining agents were used in the making of this wine.
