100% Chenin Blanc (Dry, no skin maceration) From a vineyard planted in 1972 Vinified in 50% stainless steel, 50% older 500-litre barrels. This is wonderous; I am currently quite fascinated with Chenin Blanc and this wine is one of the reasons why, this is very shy on nose and incredibly fine pure and delicate in the mouth with super balance and length, vibrating with tension. It will expand and develop with age. Super wine
