Matawhero Church House Gisborne Chenin Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Floral, Pineapple

"A gorgeous rendition of the variety, the fragrant bouquet shows Gala apple, pineapple, melon and lemon peel aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's bright and lively. Beautifully textured and elegantly structured, it's superbly long on the finish with delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024

"Very youthful, fresh, bright and lifted bouquet. Aromas and flavours of baked apple and white peach, there’s a decent back bone of acidity here accentuating the use of lees adding to the mouthfeel and richness on the palate. Plenty of weight and purity of fruit on display. A wine that will work as an aperitif style or with starter dishes, leading us and you nicely into summer 2025, and beyond. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2024

This gorgeous French variety grows well in our Gisborne climate. With citrus, stonefruit and honeysuckle flavours it has a bright acidity and lovely texture.
