Description

Vino Volta 'Funky & Fearless' Chenin 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin fromthe 25 year old "Rockets" vineyard in the Upper Swan Valley, Western Australia. The fruit is grown on Swan Valley loam soils

Taste Profile: Passion fruit and lemon / lime pith at its core, waxy and mealy characters with a little preserved lemon. A bit of funk, a bit more texture, focused citrusy acid pulls it through. It's made in a fairly textural style, focusing in on the waxy, mouth-filling characters that make Chenin so distinctive as a variety.

Winemaking Process: Whole bunch pressed to old oak. Native yeast ferment with monthly lees stirring in old oak barrels

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
