Kasteelberg stands sentinel over the fertile valley below. From the slopes of the mountains, hand-selected grapes are expertly crafted with care to produce rare and expressive wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited release, single-vineyard Chenin Blanc from hand-selected grapes from the foothills of the majestic Kasteelberg Mountain, Kasteelberg Chenin Blanc embodies excellent craftsmanship that transforms the harsh Swartland terroir into the pinnacle of our winemakers’ art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with the age-old tradition of Dry Land viticulture, it resulted in an elegant, aromatic and richly textured wine, with characteristics typical to Chenin Blanc grown under these conditions. Citrus, lemon zest, ripe apple and tropical flavors are only some of the flavors that charm the nose. The palate follows through with flavors of melon, a touch of spice and well-integrated wood for exceptional balance and a luxurious, lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce harvested, the grapes are hand-sorted, de-stemmed \u0026amp; crushed into temperature-controlled gravitational drainers. Only the free-run juice is chilled and settled overnight. The juice is then racked off into new, 300 L, oak barrels (50% French oak, 50% Hungarian oak) and wild yeast fermented in the barrels. Fermentation is temperature controlled and lasted around 22 days. The wine is then matured in the oak barrel on the gross lees for 12 months before being racked off, filtered and bottled. After bottling the wine is further bottle-matured for at least 6 months before release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riebeek Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975840436448,"sku":"107174","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/riebeek-cellars-kasteelberg-chenin-blanc_1.jpg?v=1745942142","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/riebeek-cellars-kasteelberg-chenin-blanc-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
