Bencze - Chenin Blanc 2021

We received several cartons of Chenin Blanc from István Bencz from the 2020 vintage! The basis is grapes from a biodynamically cultivated vineyard of this originally French variety, planted by István in the location of Szent György-hegy in 2014. After picking, they are gently and slowly pressed, then the juice goes to ferment and mature for 12 months both in small clay amphoras and in older ones French oak barrels that were not topped up, so a fine yeast flora formed on the surface of the wine. Subsequently, the wine from both containers is combined and aged for another 18 months in a large 1500l oval oak barrel. In taste, you will enjoy a large dose of energy with French elegance! There are fresh citruses, green apples and a beautiful saltiness that gives it an interesting flavor structure. Don't miss the chance to taste this probably the most limited Bencze wine.
