MMAD Vineyard, Chenin Blanc 2021

Place: McLaren Vale, Australia

Grape: Chenin Blanc

Vibe: Classic, textural

Chenin and Australia aren't two words you'd immediately place in the same sentence, but on the strength of what's in the glass here, that might be about to change. An individual expression, and a bloody good one at that. They've somehow managed to eke out intensity, texture and saline freshness yet retain balance and drive. The length here is days long. What a wine. ABV: 12.5%
