Description
Ladybird Vineyards Sur Lie Chenin Blanc 2022 has a bright pale gold colour. The bold, upfront nose is packed with notes of white nectarine, pineapple, yellow apple, star fruit, lime zest, nutmeg, and lilies. The palate is complex and layered with an array of spices, vanilla, apples, yellow plums, apricot, and lemon meringue. The wine has a creamy texture and a long zesty finish, which indicates ageing potential or up to 10 years from vintage under good storage conditions. 2022 is regarded as one of the best white wine vintages in recent 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.
