2025 Chenin Blanc
$35.00
I’ve been reading in the wine press that it’s Chenin Blanc’s time. Pffftttt… it’s always been chenin blanc’s time, and it gladdens my heart to see one pop up under the label of one of my favourite winemakers. Lemon, grapefruit, pear and yellow plum with hints of soft spice, crushed stone, minerals, meadow flowers, cashew butter and almond paste. Sapid with a lipsmacking, saline acidity and bright fruits daubed with crème fraîche. I love the interplay between textural pith and mineral stare here. – 93+ points, Dave Brookes
