Chenin Blanc 2025 750ml

The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the night, cold settled before being racked into our oak cuvées for fermentation (1000L barrels imported from Germany) to add some complexity and accentuate that wet lanolin character of great Chenin.

Tasting Notes

Always aiming for the classical off-dry style of the Loire, this wine is defined by flavours of pear, quince, jasmine, Greengage plum and ginger, balanced by a deliciously zesty acidity on the palate and a rich mineral yet creamy texture. It is a true French expression of the great Chameleon of grapes, Chenin Blanc, but it’s made right here in NZ for your drinking pleasure. Perfect Food Match: A seaside picnic of Fish ‘n’ Chips
