{"product_id":"2026-corymbia-rockets-vineyard-chenin-blanc","title":"2026 Corymbia Rocket's Vineyard Chenin Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003eRob and Genevieve Mann at Corymbia make some of the most exciting Chenin in WA, and this is the ninth release from their Rocket's Vineyard in the Swan Valley. It's named after Rob's late dad, Test cricketer Tony \"Rocket\" Mann, who was famous for rocketing the ball in from the outfield to hit middle stump. Tony loved wine too. He spotted an old currant vineyard and, with Rob, turned it into a Chenin oasis 33 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are organically farmed, hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Fermentation happens in a mix of stainless steel and large, seasoned French oak, then the wine sits on its lees for four months. It's a simple recipe, but it builds plenty of texture without weighing the fruit down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect preserved lemon, white nectarine, crunchy pear and a little chamomile, with that classic Chenin waxiness and a chalky, saline line through the middle. The acid is bright and the finish is long and cool. At 12.5% it's fresh enough for prawns on the barbie, but it's got the stuffing to tuck a few away and watch it unfurl over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's bright and a bit juicy, has a little lemon zest in with crunchy pear, a light flinty and chalky feel to texture, finishes long with a sort of saline cucumber coolness. A lovely wine in 2026.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Charteris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67639373529131,"sku":"2026 Corymbia Rocket's Vineyard Chenin Blanc","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2025CorymbiaCheninBlanc_ed89fb01-c4b7-4ab4-b078-c29e2469fca9.png?v=1792408539","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2026-corymbia-rockets-vineyard-chenin-blanc","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
