Chenin is one of our favourites and this one doesn’t disappoint!

Light yellow honey colour. Refreshing, dry, crisp and easy to drink. The nose opens with an overflow of green apples, followed by layers of quince, zesty lime citrus, melting honey and wet stone. There’s a tropical something in this wine too, hinting at subtle influences of sweet pineapple and melon. The elegant palate has a beautiful balance, freshness and a delightful texture.

The 2019 Chenin Blanc was naturally fermented in 85% old barrels with minimal intervention, with the remainder undergoing fermentation in steel tanks. Best enjoyed over the next five years.
