2012 De Morgenzon Reserve Chenin Blanc (750ml) x 6 bottles - Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
DeMorgenzon is a firm believer in the positive effects of melodic sound energy on plant growth, has instituted a vitimusicology programme, whereby Baroque music is played 24 hours a day through strategically placed speakers in the vineyards and cellar. The mathematical rhythm unique to this music translates into wines of exquisite balance, elegance and complexity. Platter 5* DeMorgenzon’s Chenin Blanc comes from low-yielding vines planted in 1972, which were originally planted as bush vines but subsequently lifted onto trellises. The vines are planted in decomposed granite soils, at altitudes of 250 to 300 meters above sea level. Close proximity to False Bay ensures cooling breezes in the warm summer months. The grapes were handpicked in the early morning hours, with bunch selection done in the vineyard. Fermentation occurred naturally in French oak barrels (25% new), using i/ndigenous yeasts. The wine was aged on its lees in barrel for 10 months,without any topping or batonage. Final blending of up to seven different components ensures perfect balance and complexity in the final product.
