Top Notes For
Matt

Mouthfilling with its richness and chewy texture. Complex layers on the nose and palate make for a contemplative drink, always changing and expressing a new aspect. Acidity is long, powerful, and holds the wine together. Ripe orchard fruit, a touch tropical, lemon peel, white lilly, wet stones/concrete, nougat, spring honey, tea leaf, wool and beeswax. Has all the makings of a great Chenin in 10 years

Waxy, a little nutty, oxidized orchard and pit fruit, lemon oil, saline stony finish. Very nice spot development-wise

Burnt orange, lemon oil, stone fruits, and dusty stones. Fresh and acidic. Morgat is a Chenin Blanc genius.

Rich, soft texture balanced out by refreshing acidity and minerality. Vivid citrusy and apple flavors. Drinks well on its own as well
