South Africa's Rickety Bridge hand harvest Chenin Blanc grapes from an old bush vine block in their estate and from other selected areas in the Western Cape. Stainless steel fermentation with 10% fermented in older oak barrels and then aged for 6 months in oak Foudre.
The resulting wine brings inviting aromas of pineapple, stone fruit and lime blossom with underlying floral notes. A full, rich palate of citrus and spice leads into a long, fresh, honeyed finish. Try with sushi, shellfish, salads, creamy chicken dishes or east Asian cuisine.
Rickety Bridge Wine Estate is nestled against the slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains overlooking the majestic Wemmershoek Mountain range and accommodates 27 hectares of vines.
