Houghton Ev/37 Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2023

Oh my, we’re on to something here. Chenin blanc has been a part of Houghton from 1937 when Jack Mann created the famous White Burgundy (now White Classic) from Swan Valley chenin blanc. This has been made from old vine Margaret River chenin and is a stunning expression of a variety that continues to reveal new chapters to its playbook. Has a smoky citrussy aroma with muted tropical fruits. The palate is intense and complex with tremendous depth and persistence. Has a chalky feel with a characteristically fine bright minerally acidity. It has cellaring potential.
