Arum Fields Chenin Blanc by Darling Cellars

Arum Fields Chenin Blanc by Darling Cellars

The recent demarcation of the Darling district has led to a focus at Darling Cellars on wines which are
terroir specific, such as Arum Fields Chenin Blanc.

A fantastic value for money wine which has elegant and well balanced structure with subtle tropical fruit notes dominated by ripe yellow peaches, quince, guava and white pear on the nose and loads of tropical fruit on the palate with fresh and crisp acidity followed by a lingering aftertaste.
TASTING NOTE
Subtle tropical fruit dominated by ripe yellow peaches, quince, guava and white pear on the nose. Elegant and well-balanced structure with loads of tropical fruit on the pallet and a fresh and crisp acidity followed by a lingering aftertaste.
VINIFICATION DETAILS
All grapes were hand harvested before being crushed and destalked, followed by 14 days’ fermentation at 14-15°C. The grapes and juice were handled reductively to prevent oxidation. Although there was no oak
contact, the wine was left on its lees for 3 months to add complexity

Additional Information

Darling Cellars Reserve is a wine range of straight varietals where the focus is on fruit driven, varietal true, value for money wines.

The Darling area historically is a dairy area and only the last 10 – 15 years, grape growing has come to the fore. Renowned for its wild flowers, it is one of the Western Cape’s most diverse areas. The Darling Wildflower Society was founded in 1915 with an annual show in September.

The area was used during the 18 hundreds by the government of the day to fatten their cattle, as the area had large plains of natural grass. The traditional produce was game, salt and butter.

These days an abundance of businesses thrive in Darling. Wine, dairy, baskets, olives, sand and water are some of the industries which, along with tourism, makes Darling tick along.
