WHEN/WHERE TO DRINK:
Take it home and pop the cork as soon as you get through the door.
WHAT TO EAT WITH:
Sashimi, Kangaroo Island Marron
WINEMAKER NOTES:
Chenin Blanc from this site retains its natural acidity well, allowing the fruit to be picked at slightly greater ripeness and giving the variety more opportunity to express itself. The result is a more vinous base wine. This character was further emphasised by fermenting with a higher level of solids and allowing the wine to rest on full solids for around 10 months prior to tirage.
