CHRISMONT Manseng 2023

A zesty addition to the Chrismont tasting line up, Petit Manseng hails from the South West of France and is packed with distinct spicy characters that make the perfect food match sing.  

TASTING NOTES
COLOUR: Straw to pale gold.
AROMA: Pawpaw, yellow peach and citrus aromas, with a honey and cashew complexity.
PALATE: Off dry tropical fruit flavours that lead into mouth-watering natural acidity that persists through to the finish.

WINEMAKER NOTES
“Fruit is picked late in the season to allow full maturation and tempering of the high natural acidity. The fruit is gently pressed keeping only free run juice which is allowed to spontaneously ferment in both stainless steel and old French oak barriques. Due to high natural acid some of the wine undergoes MLF and some is left with residual sugar to balance the palate. Maturation on lees for 6 months helps to develop the flavours before being prepared for bottling mid Spring.” Warren Proft, Winemaker
