Saxenburg Wines - South Africa's finest wine producer

Winemaker’s comments
This is the 3nd vintage for Saxenburg white Guinea Fowl. Our Chenin Blanc vines are 28 years old giving us maturity and complexity. The Viognier adds richness and structure to the blend whilst the Chenin Blanc is fresh and fruity. Guinea Fowl white is a perfect aperitif, great with chicken and salad dishes and will compliment spicy oriental foods too. Serve chilled.

Vinification Details
Only healthy grapes were picked early morning whilst the grape juice was still cool. The juice had six hours skin contact then pressed. The grape juice settles and the clear juice fermented cold for intense flavour. Long lees contact for complexity however no Malo-lactic fermentation.

No wood.
