Chenin Blanc is having a moment and Margaret River is ready. The region’s strong points can be seen and enjoyed here. Fully ripened fruit brings forth lifted aromatics – honeysuckle, acacia, citrus blossom – which run the length and breadth of the wine, together with citrus, baked apple, spice and almond meal. Just a splash of botanicals – a smidgeon – together with a peppery twist is a brilliant added touch. Everything is in balance, including the lovely, lemony bright acidity to close. A textural lovely that puts a spotlight on Chenin Blanc.
