TASTING NOTES

 

APPEARANCE

Pale straw in colour.

 

AROMA

Aromas of tropical fruit, crisp apple, and nashi pear jump from the glass along with ripe stone fruit.

 

PALATE

Clean and pure on the palate with bountiful fruit and floral characters. Flavour length is provided by crisp acidity and a light textural element thanks to the wine’s time spent resting on lees.

 

REGION NOTES

The Tregarthen vineyard is in the Kuitpo sub-region of the southern Adelaide Hills. The small section of Chenin Blanc is the only block of the variety grown in the Hills and is on a gentle north facing slope. Cool evenings allow for a long ripening period and crunchy acidity is able to be retained in the fruit.

 

FOOD MATCHING

Seafood is a natural match for this wine – think fresh Marron with a light garlic and herb butter sauce.

 

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Ready to drink now or up to five years from vintage.

 

VINIFICATION

The fruit was pressed to and fermented in stainless steel tank to preserve freshness and fruit purity. The wine spent two months on yeast lees to provide some richness and complexity. Bottled in June 2024.
