  Wine Maker's Notes:   We waited a few days longer than usual before harvesting our Chenin Blanc. This was to let the juice in grape berries become more concentrated and the sugar level to climb to more than 27 Brix.

The grape bunches then were harvested selectively for making this premium quality dessert wine. It is truly "An elegant wine with an intense pear flavor and silky mouthful.

A fantastic balance of alcohol with acidity and sugar.

 
  Vineyard:   The Vineyard is located near Nashik city, where the soil is a treasure of minerals and weather which perfectly suites Grape plantation, no doubt Nashik is known as grape city. It is blessed with ideal climatic balance where humidity is perfectly controlled with a 22-25 inch rainfall and North-South sunlight.
