Chenin Blanc is grown on 30 year old vines at the Willamba vineyard in the
Blewitt Springs region of McLaren Vale. One of the highest areas of the Vale and
about 15km inland. Very mild climate and gully breezes. Deep rich sand and loam
mix over a clay base. Grapes were machine harvested in the cool before dawn, and
then left briefly on skins, 6 hours, before pressing to a stainless steel tank
for fermentation with a light amount of solids. The finished wine was stored on
lees in seasoned oak for 4 months prior to bottling. No fining, minimal
filtration.
