Garo’Vin 2021 Lunatic Chenin Blanc 

These are exceptionally well made wines, with bright fruit and freshness, displaying inherent beauty.
An under-rated wonder of the Loire, a secret that will not last long. 100% Chenin blanc from one parcel, 35-year-old vines on pink schist soils. 2018 was a unique vintage as it yielded more grapes than previous years. As such, this vintage has 35% de-stemmed Chenin blanc that was macerated for 10 days, the remainder being whole bunch, direct-pressed. Majority of the macerated Chenin spent elevage in tank, the remainder 20% new oak, 20% 4-year-old and 60% old barrels. With chalky minerality, lush fruit and hints of gingery spice, you won’t be able to get enough of this.
