In our eyes Chenin Blanc is the indisputable star variety of the Swan Valley / district. This is why we are showing a number of vineyards and a number of expressions. The vines are a little hard to manage but the results are so worth it, the fruit is super versatile. This fruit comes from 25+ year old 'Rockets' vineyard in Upper Swan on Swan Valley loam.
Whole bunch pressed to old oak. Natural high solids ferment, monthly lees stirring. Passion fruit and lemon / lime pith at its core, waxy and mealy characters with a little preserved lemon. A bit of funk, a bit more texture, focused citrussy acid pulls it through.
