Vine Venom Silence
Chenin Blanc (6)

Vine Venom Silence is a full solera of the vintages 2020-2024 – each year the Chenin Blanc is picked at a balling
of around 19.5′ to allow for freshness and acidity in order to withstand the oxidative process it undergoes. The grapes are whole bunch pressed, fermented in stainless steel until dry and transferred to 300l barrels. 100% of the wine was aged under a naturally-occurring wild flor veil. The solera system (as used in Sherry production) is a continuous
flow of adding new vintage wine to the already existing and aging wine which sits protected under a layer of flor. Like any yeast, this Flor is kept active by the addition of fresh juice (i.e sugar) which keeps it alive. The wine shows green olive, Maldon salt, sourdough, oyster shell & sea breeze matched with apricot, quince, Amalfi lemon and almond notes.
