MMAD Blewitt Springs Chenin Blanc

The MMAD Chenin Blanc is rich and ripe, with a youthful nose and the solid structure that only old vines can provide. Chenin vines were planted as "babies" in the MMAD vineyard in 1964. Those decades of development aid in explaining the complexities on offer. The other explanation is the variety of winemaking techniques used, such as whole bunch pressing to French oak puncheons and crushed fruit fermented in concrete with some skin contact. What does it taste like? Refined, floral, but also intense, with scintillating aromatics that explain why Chenin is gaining popularity in Australia. Delicious blossom, citrous, waxiness, saltiness, structure, and verve.
