Screwcap/Stelvin

White

Lemon meringue pie-like with its notes of salted pastry, lemon curd and a line of savoury quartz-like minerality. Inviting and plush on the palate – as plush as Chenin can get. The mouth-puckering acidity is lively and malleable, pushing through the grippy texture and juicy weight of the lemon pith and preserved lemon flavours. A delightful, supple shape on the palate: exciting tension that underpins beautiful glossy fruit. Phenolics are rotund and polished and hold their ground; there’s a width to this wine, not simply a curvy rush of acid to the finish line. Winemaking (50% crushed in amphora and 50% whole bunch in old oak) is well judged.
