Description
Only 19 hectares of Chenin Blanc is currently planted in New Zealand. We are excited to produce our 2nd vintage in 2025. Sourced from the Redbank Vineyard on Te Muna Road and our own tiny parcel from the Walnut Ridge vineyard; our aim was to explore the characters of Martinborough Chenin Blanc in a dry style. Keeping winemaking as simple as possible and approaching it with the same use of older larger format oak barrels that we use for our other varieties, we feel this wine truly reveals the personality of the variety from our place. Bright and breezy like a fresh spring day, is the uplifting feeling that the 2025 Chenin Blanc exudes. Aromas of elderflower, waxy lemon and firm nectarine define the nose. The palate is tangy and vibrant with notes of salted rockmelon and cucumber, intermingled with honeyed lemon. This wine beckons a good time and is built to last.
