Lobo Hills Chenin Blanc

This wine is an ode to the delicious French and South African style chenin blancs. This is a dry and lush Chenin Blanc, opening with aromas of honey, stones, white blossoms and lime. On the palate, it is rich and full with flavors of apricot skins, honey and lime. The wine was fermented cool in a 500-gallon-refrigerated tank, then aged on the yeast lees for 11 months. The tank was hand stirred every other week for four months then once a month for the next three months. At seven months, the wine was transferred by the bottom valve (a dirty rack) into a smaller stainless steel tank and a 187-gallon concrete egg.
