Mid lemon - slightly cloudy reflecting its natural origins. Limey slightly musty aromas. Notes of Lemon cordial initially. No added sulphites. Showing Chenin Blanc with purity and drinkability. With air the wine tasted like pineapple juice and not like wine.

Slightly cloudy appearance. Very natural winemaking from biodynamic vineyards. An unusual rendition of Chenin Blanc. Nose of pineapple juice lemon and a touch of vanilla. Palate of pineapple lemon and a touch salty. Mouthwatering acidity at the finish. This wine is somewhat of a conundrum. Quite unusual.

Mineral Chenin with a funkiness that's subtle. It grows and grows.

A very cool version of Chenin. Low alcohol (11.3) but quite textural. Came to life with a hunk of Aged Wisconsin cheddar

Touch of honey; fuller, textural palate. Shape-shifter that morphs in the glass.
