DESCRIPTION
MMAD Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2023 is sourced from old vines planted in one of the most sought-after sectors of Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, where Maslin sands, ironstone pebbles, and sea breezes yield wines that are simultaneously fragrant, structured, and saline. The 2023 vintage, late and cool, produced small, concentrated bunches. Crafted from a blend of crushed grapes and whole-bunch pressed fruit, then fermented in concrete and large-format seasoned oak. It features 12.5% alcohol and 6.5 g/L of total acidity. Aging potential of 15 years.
On the nose, intense and elegant aromas combining delicate floral and fruity notes, with a touch of saline freshness. On the palate, dense and silky, with a beautiful concentration of fruit, an elegant texture, a saline minerality, and a long finish. Pairs with cream-sauce poultry or grilled fish and fish with light sauces.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, just south of Adelaide, is highly regarded in Australia and around the world. Shiraz tops the list of the region's award winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favourite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another key variety, along with Grenache and Mourvèdre, which together with Shiraz make some of the most acclaimed GSM blends in the region. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lead the white grapes of McLaren Vale, with a wealth of other regional and international specialities such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.

A Chenin you wouldn't expect from here and that truly surprises. Saline, dense, mineral. Fascinating with every sip.
