This white blend is a tribute to Harry, a fictional local vineyard worker who hangs his brightly coloured laundry on farm fences.
Roughly 40% of the Chenin Blanc was fermented on the skins for a week to build texture. The result is a vibrant and aromatic wine with a rich, textured palate. Expect notes of citrus peel and stone fruit, with a savoury character from the skin contact. It is a complex and beautifully balanced wine.
“75% Chenin Blanc, 25% Chardonnay, with 40% skin contact on the Chenin. Matured 14 months in older oak, followed by three months in stainless steel. The nose shows apple, citrus, peach, potpourri and spice, with subtle yeasty, nutty notes. Slightly richer than previous vintages, the palate has good fruit weight and moderate acidity, finishing gently savoury. Alc: 13%.”
