This is a barrel fermented style of chenin blanc. The oak has been gently introduced and certainly does not dominate, but it does bring a level of textural complexity to lift. Retains its fresh green apple and light tropical fruit characters with a slight creaminess. Excellent wine.

The ‘23 vintage was one of the very best for chenin blanc in the Swan Valley and this wonderful wine is a classic example of what can be done with this variety. Loaded with delightful fragrant fruit, a mix of apple and pear with a gentle citrus lift. The palate is textured and deeply flavoursome. A twist of lemon on...

Swan Valley chenin blanc in a good year; oh, yeah. Comes from old vines in the Swan and then gets time in a mix of French oak and stainless steel. It creates a wine of tremendous flavour and precision with great palate texture and richness. There's a slightly spicy pear and minerally edge that completes an excellent wine.

A love chenin blanc and when you put some bubbles in it, I reckon I love it even more. This one shows the flavours and punch of this tropical fruit-laden variety with the crisp natural acidity that makes it ideal for sparkling wines. Fresh flavoursome with wonderful fruit.

The best parcels of chenin on the property are handpicked for this exceptional chenin blanc. The extra time in bottle has allowed the fruit palate to build more flavour with the melon and creamy pear characters starting to open up. Has a subtle vanilla pod on the finish with that lemon butter influence.

A wonderful example of the fruit purity and flavours that have most in the Valley saying this might be the best year yet for chenin. No argument from me, Has the melon and citrus honeysuckle mix that is quintessential chenin. The flavour is endless with that crisp natural fine acidity providing energy and lift. A super wine at a nutty...

It makes a lot of sense that if you're going to make a chenin blanc you go to the Swan Valley. This warmer year produced chenin of tremendous flavour and balance. This has it all, with a lemony citrus and red apple character, especially on the nose. A keen twist of lemon and lime adds to the clean finish.

If you love chenin blanc you are going to love this take on the variety. Natural fermentation in barriques and amphorae. It then had regular lees stirring which is reflected in the palate texture. The process takes much of the varietal tropical fruit characters out, but then you get other notes of vanilla bean, cashew and subtle savoury characters. And...

From a cool year Peterkin has managed to coax so much from the fruit for this impressive cabernet. The colour is deep for a start and the nose reveals fruit characters in the cherry and plummy spectrum rather than the usual varietal blackcurrant. The palate comes to life with a chalky oyster shell minerality combining with the dark fruit flavours....

One of the great producers of this Swan Valley staple. In this case special care has been taken with hand picking and bunch sorting of the fruit taken from the oldest chenin vineyard, planted in 1962. Not the punchy overt tropical fruit but there is still a fruit freshness, livened with a mix of florals and spices. Tremendous mouth feel....

This is a throwback to the very popular wines of the 80s produced with chenin blanc showing a little sweetness. It's variety that can handle this style with the crisp natural acid keeping it lively and clean. Loaded with tropical fruits showing a little peach flavour. Crisp fine acid. Great summer drinking.

Chenin blanc can be treated a number of ways – without oak, with oak and with lees influence to build texture. This is the style adopted here and it's resulted in an excellent example of this variety. Has a crunchy, slightly steely minerality but with excellent fruit ripeness and purity. The lees stirring has introduced that textural element showing the...

Chenin blanc can take on so many forms, from the crisp and fruity to something quite different like this one which has been made with wild fermentation techniques in oak. It builds on the natural bright lemon characters of the variety and introduces a creamy richness. This is a cracking example of that opulent style.

Super season for this aromatic fruity variety. A small portion was barrel fermented resulting in a slightly tighter palate at the moment but one that is ready to develop beautifully with age. The nose has a sort of red apply skin and punchy melon nuance. The palate is racy with a crunchy chalky acidity supporting that vibrant fruit expression.

Another brilliant example of the versatility of this variety. It's been cane cut to allow the bunches to dry and concentrate the sugars. It's thoroughly delicious with its floral, green apple and citrus on the nose and then the luscious mix of cumquat, lemon tart and a hint of pineapple. If you want just a little sweetness with a crisp...

This is another take on chenin, confirming its versatility for different expressions and styles. In this case it's been pressed to oak puncheons where it spent eight months. The ‘22 vintage delivered powerful and richly flavoured fruit, so the oak has been easily taken up. Lots of stone fruit with a faint lemon rind lift. It's a wine that is...
