Why You'll Love This Wine
Margaret River is producing some serious and site-specific Chenin Blanc, a variety that Chief Winemaker Julian Langworthy calls "Margaret River’s other great white grape."
When describing this wine, Julian said: “It is super exciting to put out a Chenin Blanc under the Deep Woods label. Sourced from the Yallingup Hills, right in the middle of the Deep Woods heartland. This wine has a lovely natural acidity and huge complexity from partial barrel ferment. A very versatile wine with a saline and slinky citrus drive.”
Partial barrel ferment has contributed to a more medium-bodied mouth feel, with ripe citrus, nectarine and honeydew flavours on the palate, followed by the Chenin hallmark – a racy natural acidity.
