Winemaker’s comments
This Chenin Blanc comes from the Wrekin Vineyard in the Brancott Valley. The colour is pale yellow with a greenish hue. On the nose this wine could easily be mistaken for a Chablis with its austere, cool nose, chalky minerality and subtle floral notes, which follow through on the saline-inflected palate that is focused and tight structured without being forceful or aggressive. The wine is uncompromisingly dry with firm but moderate acidity, resulting in a refined texture on the long and refreshing finish, perfect with freshly shucked oysters.
Food match
Beautiful as a pre-dinner drink, with all kind of seafood, cold cheese and meat platters, summer meat fish and meat salads, Pasta and Vegetarian food.
