False Bay Slow Chenin
Why this is on Broken Compass: Boutinot declare sustainable. Supplier sheet: sustainable. Producer notes: wild or indigenous yeast.
What to expect
Ripe citrus and green plum fruit on the nose, with lightly bready aromas and notes of dried herbs including fennel and aniseed. Good concentration of zesty fruit with a creamy lemon character offset by taught acidity. The finish is long with great textural complexity, attributable to the long, slow, wild yeast fermentation.
