Aslina Chenin Blanc Skin Contact

Aslina's 2022 Skin Contact Chenin Blanc is a testament to the innovative spirit of Ntsiki Biyela, South Africa's first Black female winemaker and the visionary behind Aslina Wines.

This Stellenbosch gem showcases a syncretic meeting of tradition and modernity, with handpicked Chenin Blanc grapes undergoing a meticulous skin-contact process—some fermenting on the skins for up to seven days—to impart a delicate amber hue and a nuanced tannic structure.

On the nose, expect enticing aromas of wet stone and peach, leading to a lush, velvety palate brimming with bright peach, complemented by good acidity and subtle herbal undertones.

This wine is perfect for both those new to skin contact and experienced enthusiasts seeking something fresh and exciting!
