Description
Ladybird Vineyards (previously known as Laibach Vineyards) Sur Lie Chenin Blanc 2020 displays a very exotic nose with tropical, papaya and white peach in abundance. On the velvety rich palate a lovely mineral character combines with the ripe tropical and stone fruits, very long and balanced with a fresh lemon and lime like acidity. It begs to be opened, but this wine will age gracefully and got enough structure and complexity to last 6 – 10 years.
This wine is made from the oldest vineyard on the farm. No additives were used and fermentation was done 50% in old barrels, 25% in concrete eggs and 25% in stainless steel. The resulting wine is a refreshing colour with an orangey tint.
Ageing potential: 10 years from vintage
Food pairing: Shellfish, Thai food or fish dishes such as pan fried seabass or hake.
Alcohol: 13.78% ABV
