Marri Wood Chenin Blanc 2022 (6 Bottles) Yallingup

$260.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

An exciting aromatic nose, of pineapple, lemon, pavlova and passionfruit. The palate is energetic and populated by layers upon layers of ripe orchard fruit with fine, chalky phenolics, and a seam of brine-y acidity that courses through the long finish.

The chenin blanc fruit is chilled and whole bunch pressed to tank where wild ferment commenced. The wine was then transferred to French oak (20% new) where the fermentation finished and there the wine stayed for 10 months. Batonage was carried out monthly on full fermentation lees and malolactic fermentation was blocked to help retain the naturally vibrant acid.

About Marri Wood Park Wines

Marri Wood Park is a boutique family run and owned, Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard. Established 1992 in Yallingup, Western Australia, located on Caves Road, a stone throw from Smiths Beach.

Our biodynamic philosophy utilises sustainable, chemical free practices. Applying the timing and movement of celestial objects to predicate pruning, live animal fertilising, and picking; complementing our natural and introduced bio-diversity as an ecologically beneficial approach to farming.

Sixteen acres and ten-thousand vines comprising cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc, chenin blanc, semillon and a terroir of sandy gravelly loam on limestone bedrock. No irrigation; made possible by the dewy, cooling breeze which rolls off the Southern Indian Ocean in conjunction with gentle north facing slopes, undulating topography and well-established roots of our 28-year-old vines.

The result is hardy vines that produce high quality, robust and delicious grapes. The berries are hand-picked and sorted and then fermented in an array of fermenters (including clay amphoras, French and Austrian oak barrels) to produce the highest quality wine exemplifying the Margaret River region’s fine viticultural qualities.
