9月のショップ試飲4杯目。
南ア・ケープタウン近郊のワイナリー、スパイスルートのシュナン・ブラン。
こちらは和柑橘というより、トロピカルフルーツ主体。甘辛いハーブ系のニュアンスが強め。
一部クヴェヴリ熟成。
酸は穏やかですが、しっかりと感じられます。
以下、ワイナリーのサイトより。
The grapes were picked at different maturity levels. The first picking was done at 22 degree balling, with the remaining balance picked late-February, with high sugar levels and some raisins on the bunches. The bunches were gently destalked and pressed. After 48 hours settling, the portion that was picked earlier was all fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and elegance. The late picked portion was fermented and matured in old French oak barrels for 10 months while the tank fermented portion were also matured in terracotta clay pots known as Qvevries. The Qvevri maturation takes place over 8
