Winemaker Nic Peterkin looks for a more textural style of Chenin, and in search of mouthfeel, this gets the works. Cold soaked and basket pressed, fermented in a mixture of old oak and clay amphora, the wine is then stirred every fortnight to bring some leesy creaminess into the wine. The grapefruit and pear fruit flavours shine throughout.

Erin Larkin - Halliday Wine Companion

100% chenin blanc, Demeter certified organic and biodynamic grapes. Matured 10 months in barrique and amphora. Wild ferment, no mlf, no fining, minimal filtration. Taut, textural, tense and almost nervy, the classic waxiness of chenin emerges only on the mid palate and beyond. This speaks of Geraldton Wax flower, lanolin, brine, green apples, cheesecloth, a touch of lantana and a sprinkle of grapefruit zest. Long, modern and exciting, it shows chenin in a new light, quite different from the greats of the Loire, but no less profound.*

Rating: 96/100.
