SAAM MOUNTAIN CHENIN BLANC 2007

This wine, from a farmer's collective in Paarl, is essentially an extremely good quaffer - just sit down and enjoy a glass or two. At this price, it's too good to miss!

VINEYARD
SAAM Mountain Vineyards encompasses a number of farms belonging to third generation family growers, each with a deep commitment to the land. The vineyards are located in sites across Ageter, Malmsbury, Swartland, Durbanville and Paarl but have historically all been certified WO Paarl.
The premium vineyards sites have been selected for their cooler climates, where the average rainfall per annum is about 500-600ml rainfall.

SAAM are dedicated to sustainable farming and currently operate on a 1:3 vineyard to fallow land conservation ratio. All the farmers practice dryland farming - by law they could irrigate but choose not to.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Chenin Blanc

VINIFICATION
Juice is separated from the skins as soon as possible after crushing and the clear juice is racked after cold settling overnight. Yeast inoculation occurs just prior to cold fermentation at 12°C when the wine is left on gross lees.
Fine lees are stirred up frequently whilst in the tank. The wine is left on lees until the blend was prepared for bottling. No oak is used.

TASTING NOTE
Rich tropical aromas of pear, guava and ripe yellow stone fruits jump out of the glass when you pour Saam Mountain. Chenin Blanc. The abundance of flavours carries through on the well-structured palate and rich aftertaste.

Per Bottle £5.99
