Moss Brothers Wild Garden Organic Chenin Blanc 2024

Anyone interested in trying a decent local Chenin Blanc is almost certainly going to have to head to Western Australia and they could do a lot worse than end up here. Chenin has been a mainstay, if rather an underappreciated one of the West Aussie industry for many years. This is harvested from a single vineyard, with the final blend a best barrel selection. A yellow straw hue, the notes are redolent of crisp green apples, pears, lemon curd, florals, beeswax and a hint of that typical hessian character, all finely balanced and seamless. There is juicy acidity, a supple texture and very good length. A really pleasing Chenin Blanc, which will give pleasure for at least the next ten to twelve years. There is potential for the score to rise further as the wine develops.
