2000 Woody Nook Chenin Blanc

All the grapes for our Classique 2000 were picked on the estate in March of that year. As this is our "classic dry white" blend, the grape varieties were Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The grapes were brought straight to the winery from the vineyard and crushed, pressed and pumped into stainless steel, refrigerated tanks for settling. The clear juice was then racked to fermentation tanks for alcoholic fermentation. This process took 10-20 days. The wine was then cold stabilized and subjected to a fining procedure. After this the wine was filtered and was ready for bottling in September 2000.
