Pinelli
Chenin Blanc
Western Australia, Australia
Chenin Blanc is a white wine grape variety originally from France. It can be made into a still or sparkling wine alongside being dry, off-dry or even made into dessert wine. Its naturally high acidity makes it a very versatile grape.
WA’s Swan Valley produces some stunning examples of wine made from Chenin Blanc and this Pinelli Estate 2017 Chenin Blanc is one of those.
In the glass it’s a pretty lemon shade with a hint of lime. Toasted grapefruit, freshly cut melon, blooming florals and creamy citrus notes rise from the glass. While in the mouth it has a fruit sweetness to it full of flavours of apples and pears. These flavours are accompanied by a smooth mouthfeel with a refreshing citrus kick to finish. At $16 a bottle, it’s a steal 😃
And yes I winosaur-ed the heck out of this bottle 🍷🦖

Mr. Spittoon and I received this lovely award-winning Swan Valley wine as a wedding gift. Thank you Pinelli Estate! We cracked it the other night and were completely smitten with how this nearly 10 year old Chenin Blanc is tasting.

It's a golden yellow in the glass with definite aged aromas on the nose of honeydew melon, banana and a touch of caramel. After taking a sniff, the palate surprises you with it's lively, vibrant and refreshing qualities. The thing that came to mind when swirling this around my mouth was a lemon honey ice tea. It's a wine my palate won't be forgetting easily and is definitely a wine highlight of 2016 for me.
