Vino Volta - "Funky and Fearless" Chenin Blanc 2022

Made with Chenin from Rocket's Vineyard, organically grown on rich, deep red loam. Whole bunch pressed to old oak barriques, spontaneous high solids ferment, and monthly lees stirring.

Waxy and mealy characters with hints of preserved lemon over a lime pith and passionfruit core, and crushed rock minerality floating through. Smoky burnt caramel and soft ginger spice on the finish. Slightly savoury, superbly structured, sniffable and sippable. n
