Cura Vino - Chenin Blanc
Grapes are hand-picked and chilled overnight for optimum juice quality, with extended maceration in the press for maximum flavour extraction. Cold-settled, cloudy juice (no enzymes) is transferred to barrel for wild yeast fermentation, with malic blocked by a modest SO2 addition. Aging in the same oak for 10 months on gross lees builds weight and texture. Aromas of nectarine, baked apple, candle wax and quince move to a palate of spiced pear and stone fruits, with a saline streak of acidity running through the textured finish.
- Varietal: Chenin Blanc
- Region: Swan Valley, WA
- Vintage: 2023

- Size: 750ml
