MMAD Vineyards Chenin Blanc 2021 750 ml

Description:

Lovely mild ripening conditions gave Chenin Blanc with an array of characters including citrus peel, cumquat, hessian, sea spray and a hint of lanolin. The fruit was hand-picked, and approximately one third was whole bunch pressed to old French oak puncheons, and the balance crushed for more skin contact, and fermented in concrete vats before going to puncheons. 

The wine combines a fine-ness from the whole bunch pressed component with more texture from the crushed fruit, and an array of characters including citrus peel, cumquat, hessian, sea spray and a hint of lanolin. The palate is long and framed by crisp acidity, with exciting ageing potential.
