MMAD Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2025 12.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Complex and intense with lifted notes of honeysuckle and fresh quince.

Palate
The finely structured palate is shaped by citrus pith, ripe grapefruit and subtle waxy notes. Intense yet restrained, the wine balances layered flavours, phenolic grip and sea spray freshness with mineral tension and bright acidity.

Region notes
MMAD Vineyard has Grenache planted in 1939, Shiraz planted in 1941 and Chenin Blanc from 1964. The vineyard has the fine Maslin sands found in Blewitt Springs, and is exposed to the fresh sea breezes from the south-west. Below the sand is a layer of ironstone pebbles, and this combination of sand, ironstone, and cooling winds gives both perfume and structure to the wines.

Cellaring potential
Has the concentration and structure to develop fine tertiary characters in bottle over the next 15 years.

Vinification
A combination of whole bunch pressed and crushed fruit was fermented in old oak and concrete, before maturation in old French oak puncheons. Time on lees and malolactic fermentation has added texture, balancing the fresh acidity.
