Matawhero Church House Gisborne Chenin Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Floral, Pineapple

"Gorgeously styled and expressed, it's beautifully fruited and elegantly expressed on the nose, showing golden apple, rockmelon, fig, and lemon zest aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity, fleshy texture, and finely pitched acidity, finishing persistent and mouthwatering. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2026

"An excellent expression showcasing the voice of Matawhero’s style of power and purity of fruit whilst speaking flavours of crisp red and sore apples, pear and a fine leesy citrus layer. High acidity frames the core flavours of tree fruit and lees leading to a mineral quality. Taut and just dry on the finish with a tickle of residual sweetness offering contrast. Best drinking from late 2026 through 2032+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2026

Pale straw with golden highlights, this Chenin Blanc offers aromas of citrus blossom, floral notes, and orange zest. The palate features lime, stonefruit, and honeysuckle flavors, balanced by bright acidity and a creamy texture. 

Food Pairing: Enjoy with seafood and poultry.
