2014 Avondale Anima Chenin Blanc (750ml) x 2 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
The word Anima refers to the vital life force or soul. Avondale's ethos “Terra Est Vita”- Soil is Life – acknowledgemes that for them, soul animates everything on earth, from the minerals, through plants and animals to humans. They call their Chenin Blanc Anima, because the lively minerals of Avondale’s soils give this wine its own delicious, spirited character and extraordinary finesse. Anima is made from 100% certified organic Chenin Blanc grapes. The vines range between 9 and 33 years of age, and provide low yields of between 4 and 8 tons of healthy, balanced grapes. The hand-picked, organically grown grapes were harvested at 22? and 23° Balling, whole bunch pressed and then naturally fermented in 500-litre French Oak barrels. 15 – 20% of the grapes were whole bunch fermented which adds unique body and length to the wine. After fermentation the wine was kept on the lees for 12 months with regular battonage. Decanter 95/100.
