Blindside Margaret River Chenin Blanc 2016
About the wine
One-of-a-kind Naked debut!
- Chenin Blanc is an incredible white varietal originating in France. Ben's Blindside take on it will deliver a super fruit-driven and textural delight to your glass this summer! It's refreshing, silky smooth layers will lead to a finish that simply keeps on giving..
- Ben has gone all out, mixing rustic and new world tricks of the trade to achieve such a dreamy, refreshing drop. A portion of the grapes were hand-picked and skin fermented to lock in texture. The skin ferment portion then sat in concrete eggs and french barriques, with every parcel undergoing wild ferment.
- This is the first vintage from Ben's new vineyard, which was certified in-conversion before the pick. Yes that's right - this wine is a single vineyard stunner, and just an inch away from being certified organic (a three year process). Angels have got a true steal at their fingertips at under $13. Don't delay, dive in to something new today.
