Chenin Blanc //​ Sigurd

A little waxy with aromas of fresh honeycomb, toffee and bruised apples. Slippery and glossy palate which is framed by perky, crystalline acidity. Soft tannins and a flavours of kumquat and sherbet. Cool look at Chenin, should be more like it!

Winemaker

Dan Graham

Farming

Sustainable & practising organic.

Region

Clare Valley

Vineyard

Northern Clare Valley vineyard around Stanley Flat. Cool climate site with average vine age around 57 years old. Red loam over deep clay and a creek running through the centre of the block.

Grapes

Chenin Blanc

Winemaking

It was picked around 11.5 baume and whole bunch pressed to third use Russian oak puncheons - a small amount was naturally fermented on skins for 10 days as whole bunches. The fermentation took about 20 days on lees with full malolactic fermentation as well and left in oak for 7 months, racked from oak once and a small amount of sulfites added before bottling.
