Cavalli Reserve Chenin Blanc is built from four separate pickings, each corresponding to a distinct terroir identified within the vineyard. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed and left to settle for two days, then inoculated with pure yeast strains selected to draw out the best flavour profile of each individual picking, before fermenting across 225L, 300L and 500L barrels and resting on lees for a total of seven months. Pale yellow in the glass, it offers a delicate nose of citrus blossom, orange zest, ginger and yellow peach, with a vibrant, zesty palate of grapefruit, wood spice and lemon leading to a crisp, linear finish.
