// Certified Organic and Biodynamic Chenin Blanc
"The vineyard is mostly unkept, unpruned and lacks traditional trellising. The vines sprawl everywhere where pigs, geese, guineafowl and cows roam free. The site faces north with a little creek running through the middle of the vineyard. Native flowers and plants grow under the rows with no herbicides or pesticides sprayed and no cultivation. It is one of only a few certified biodynamic vineyards in the region and was one of the first to receive Demeter certification.
The fruit was hand picked and showed varied levels of ripeness through the vineyard and crop, chilled overnight and hand sorted prior to being lightly cold pressed as whole bunches, very gently over a few hours. A portion of the fruit was left to soak with skins prior to fermentation for 40 hours. The juice was left to naturally settle prior fermentation. No malolactic fermentation and fortnightly lees stirring prior to being bottled with no fining and a light filtration." - L.A.S. Vino, Winemaker
"Another cracking CBDB from Nic Peterkin. It’s totally delicious and it’s impossible to stop drinking this. But, in the name of research, let me tell you how this is: it’s a summer’s day, by the ocean, perhaps Margaret River, a whiff of orange blossom and thyme with sea spray. There’s more: lemon verbena, and Odie’s wood oil, while the palate is salty, tangy, juicy and mouthwatering with a slip of texture, fine acidity all the way through. It is superbly balanced and so, so good." - 96 Points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion (Previous Vintage)
Tastes like: pink grapefruit, coconut, passionfruit, passiona, pavlova and lime.
