Nikola Estate Swan Valley Chenin Blanc
100% Chenin Blanc, 100% Swan Valley
Expect to be greeted with delicious wafts of floral wildflower, green nashi pear and lemon wax, leading into a palate of honey lemon and citrus, finishing with subtle hints of vanilla from the oak influence.
A wine that will continue to bottle age over the next 15 years.
Nikola Estate fruit parcels from our 1930 and 1963 blocks were carefully selected and handpicked for this wine. It was chilled to 12 degrees overnight, before being whole-bunch pressed to stainless tanks where it then spent 3 hours to settle in tank. The wine was transferred to 40% new French oak and 60% old French oak to continue its wild ferment. It then spent 7 months maturing in barrel on lees.
