About The Wine

Chenin Blanc from the Blewitt Springs district of McLaren Vale.

This wine displays a wonderful balance of fresh acidity and textural interest from fermentation in both oak and tank. Ripe stone fruit characters flow seamlessly across the palate.

White peach, red apple and flint show on the aroma with cinnamon adding complexity. The palate is a textural delight with a great depth of flavour – time on ferment lees has provided an attractive creamy character to the wine. Use of French oak provides a touch of astringency on the finish. A rounded and complete wine, crisp acidity cleans the finish and provides great length.

 

Review (2024 Vintage)

"From 50-year-old vines in the Brini vineyard, Blewitt Springs; part tank and part fermented and raised in a new Austrian puncheon and older French barriques. Well, this is a treat, vibrantly fresh but also intensely flavourful and profoundly textural. It’s almost in your face, but it’s a welcome intrusion. Cooked Bramley and fresh Cripps apple, nashi, cool white peach, cinnamon, ground ginger, clove. The sweep of texture is commanding, but so is the quietly vigorous acidity and seam of phenolic tension. Lovely."

Food match

A rich baked salmon dish with green herb sauce would complement the palate roundness of this wine.

A triple cream Camembert will match the body of this wine and complement its flinty aspects.
