La Kooki Chenin Rocks chenin blanc 2026

Here’s a chenin blanc with a little bit of panache, made by wild fermentation in barrel with granite stones. That adds plenty of intrigue and complexity, from the initial take on the nose through to the crisp, minerally palate. Slightly nutty, with light stone fruit notes. The palate is textured but retains that linear precision from the natural acidity of the variety. No doubt the stones-in-the-barrel technique has contributed to its style. Really is a super summer drink.
