Description
The Eight Feet White from Kloovenburg has an elegant nose with a mixture of white flowers, citrus and spice which leads to a generous, richly textured palate and fine, balanced finish. This wonderful white is a blend of hand picked Chenin, Verdelho, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne harvested at different times to enable the final blend to have a balance of freshness, complexity and vitality. Made with free run juice the fermentation process is natural, often taking up to 3 months. The wine spends 10 months on it’s fine lees in barrel with regular battonage (to promote texture), before final blending and bottling. The absence of malolactic fermentation means that the wine retains freshness and acidity despite it’s time in barrel.
Kloovenburg are a superb family owned and run estate in Swartland, making approachable and elegant wines predominantly inspired by the Rhone.
35% Chenin Blanc, 27% Verdelho, 24% Grenache Blanc & 14% Roussanne
