2023 Chenin Blanc

 

Preserved lemon, lanolin and spice, the Chenin Blanc deepens with nutmeg and christmas spice on the nose, and carries through to the palate. It has a tight and focused acid line with lovely richness and a touch of cedary oak. If in the company of time, it's recommended to open this bottle an hour or so before to get the full expression of this wine.
