Description / Reviews
"This is our fifth Chenin Blanc release and is produced from a small parcel of fruit from a mature single vineyard in Yallingup subregion. The palate offers a wonderful array of pear and crunchy tropical fruits, which combine with a bright moreish acidity. A subtle saline, oystershell element also provides a great foil to the natural fruit sweetness. Vibrant lemon lime notes upfront on the nose, layered with fresh cut pear and hints of savoury oystershell complexity. The fresh palate is driven by citrus fruits, quince and ginger notes. Lees stirring adds a moreish texture framed by bright acidity, driving the juicy fruit and subtle sea spray flavours through to a lingering finish." - Xanadu, Winemaker
"Another example of how this variety can manifest itself in so many different regions, producing wines of subtle differences, but always with impressive quality. In this case, the wine’s been worked with wild yeasts and some older barrel influence with regular lees stirring. So you’re getting Chenin Blanc with the natural vibrant acidity offset and balanced with some supple palate richness coming from the time on lees. On the nose, there’s a spicy, lemony, zesty character, and then the palate reveals more citrusy, slightly nutty characters but with a subtle saline lift on the finish." - 93 Points, Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
