Amphora maceration brings compelling texture to this golden Chenin Blanc. Cidery notes and apple skin complexity emerge from the skin contact, while the palate delivers concentrated pear and tropical fruit through a medium-bodied frame. The chalky limestone terroir adds mineral backbone to this distinctive expression.
