DeMorgenzon Chenin Blanc
Our first wine was the much lauded 2005 Chenin Blanc, made for us by champion wine-maker Teddy Hall.
Our Chenin Blanc is harvested by hand in the early morning from vines which are now 36 years old. A visual bunch selection is done in the vineyard. The yield of about 2.5 tons per hectare is low, the bunches tight and the grapes small berried.
The juice is racked into new French Oak barrels and undergoes natural fermentation.
