## Wine making process

The Fromm Chenin Blanc 2020 was produced from hand-picked grapes. The fruit was crushed and pressed with stems, then fermented to dryness using wild yeast in a combination of 228L and 600L oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine underwent a 12-month maturation period on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks and old 600L French oak barrels.
