2009 Chenin Blanc

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Our approach to this wine will evolve over time, however this vintage we have used some subtle oak maturation on a portion of the blend to enhance the flavour profile of Chenin Blanc. Oak gives flavour and a little more texture in the wine and augments the small addition of Chardonnay that adds some fine creamy middle palate body to the wine. Picked moderately ripe and cold fermented; the wine is in fine balance between alcohol and natural acidity and a great reflection of Margaret River quality.
