‘Brutal!’ Chenin Blanc 2022 Mondeuse dry on the palate withA zero zero Chenin Blanc from Johan Stompie Meyer, part of the cult favorite Brutal! series where nothing is added, and nothing is taken away. This 2022 release comes from 35 year old, dry farmed bush vines in the western Swartland. It sees 7 days of skin contact, spontaneous fermentation, and 14 months aging on gross lees in concrete. No filtering, no fining, and absolutely no sulfur. Raw, expressive, and wild just as intended.
