Description

South Africa has long been pursuing excellence in Chenin Blanc, some of their finer examples are considered some of the best in the world.

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that a South African is taking Australian Chenin Blanc to the next level - ladies and gentleman, this is one serious Chenin Blanc.

In an effort to highlight the variety's ability to articulately communicate terroir, Tripe.Iscariot owner/winemaker Remi Guise is releasing a pair of Margaret River subregional expressions of this often maligned grape. They were stunning to try back to back.

This, the Karridale wine, is a tighter, leaner, more mineral-driven style. Excellent release from Remi. He's on point with his pet variety once again.

    Cracking Chenin

    Lean and linear on day one with refreshing pithy grapefruit, lemon and tart peach and crushed rock flavours. Day two the mid palate builds further weight and texture with those apricot and stone fruit flavours coming through more. Mouth watering saline finish. Love it. A new one for me.

    Great value

    Green apple, citrus, lychee. It’s dry with lovely fruit driven palate and exceptionally balanced. Very enjoyable and probably one of the best value chenins in Aus. Great producer

    Lovely Chenin

    Aussie Chenin Blanc is such a lovely alternative to rieslings and chardy's. This is mouthwatering with perfect fruit and a fine acid balance, medium bodied and a super friendly food wine. Very well made and worth your time.

Hand-picked from 23 year old vines and de-stemmed to open-fermentor. Fermented on skin and basket pressed straight to old barrels, where the wine finished primary fermentation. The wine was barrel aged, during which the barrels underwent battonage every two weeks. The wine was then removed from barrel, clarified and bottled.
