2025 Chenin Rocks
This is our first Chenin Blanc release. . . . We sourced a small parcel of fruit from a mature, single vineyard, in the subregion of Yallingup and we decided to have some fun with it!
Pressed without any crushing, the high solids juice was wild fermented in French oak barriques with 17% new oak. After ferment the barrels were regularly topped and rolled for six months with small granite rocks, allowing them to do their magic, stirring up the lees and adding extra surface area, increasing the texture derived from lees contact. We love this ‘rock and roll’ technique – in fact, it Rocks! And so does Chenin Blanc!
The result was a unique blend . . . ‘Chenin Rocks’.
Fresh gala apples, pears and jungle juice with delicate wafts of sea spray and oyster shell. Subtle flinty, barrel fermentation characters add complexity. The palate offers a wonderful array of nashi pear and crunchy tropical fruits combined with zesty citrus characters. These vibrant fruits are layered with a lovely creamy texture, derived from lees stirring, but it’s the minerality and tangy acidity which really help focus the wine to a persistent, mouthwatering finish.
