The first thing that strikes you about this Chenin is its powerful marzipan-like nose, which owner and winemaker Pax Mahle attributes to the dry-farmed vines, planted in 1944 on gravelly volcanic soils. Half the grapes are foot-trodden and left overnight on their skins for texture and, after fermentation, are aged in neutral French oak for 11 months. A characterful, mineral wine with a lovely round mouthfeel and flavours of almond, sweet hay and bruised apples.
