James Edward Wines 2023 Chenin Blanc

Notes from James:
The 2023 Chenin Blanc is made using hand-picked fruit grown by Simon Robertson in Gundagai at Tumblong Hills Vineyard - a member of Sustainable Winegrowing, and employing practices that greatly benefit soil structure, and micro-biology and diversity both above and below the ground. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. The nose is very fruit forward with pear, stonefruit, ginger, and a hint of lemon curd. The palate matches the intensity of the nose with a fuller body, varietal oiliness, and slightly chewy and creamy from the skin-contact, egg, and malo. The fruit is a bit more snappy than that of the nose with a touch of underlying nuttiness, and phenolic richness carrying the wine to a long finish.
