This white wine is a great pure 100% Chenin Blanc coming from a beautiful old vineyard (>40 years old) with a very low yield with enormous potential. In the 2019 the well-known winemaker and vineyard specialist Elizma Visser (also the winemaker of Olifantsberg ) has become firmly involved in both the vineyard and the wine and Elizma's hand is clearly in the wine. Complex, takes longer to read and above all let nature take its course in a healthy old vineyard.
The Great Parys That Second Dream Vatgegis Chenin Blanc. The chenin blanc grapes are aged on the skins for 10 days, only destemmed, not crushed. A small part (13%) is aged in amphora and the rest in French wooden barrels for more than 10 months.
In the glass, the Groot Parys Die Tweede Droom is shimmering yellow with a green tinge. In the nose, wine is open, inviting with notes of honeydew melon, apricot, some vanilla from the oak, hazelnut, spicy and white fruit. In the mouth the wine is full and juicy, elegant, nice freshness, light vanilla notes, small bitterness and long lasting. Here is the ultimate proof that if you have a beautiful vineyard and you have it managed and the wine made by a gifted winemaker / winemaker, it can give fantastic results. This is a complex Chenin Blanc at a great price.
This Second Dream Chenin Blanc goes very well with hearty, spicy dishes with white meat. Fresh pasta with homemade tomato sauce. Vegetablequiche. Slightly matured to matured cheese.
