After 37 years in the ground, these dry farmed vines are as old as any in our region and from them we have produced a stand-alone, heritage Chenin Blanc, partly as a tribute to the man who planted them, pioneer winegrower Stan Chifney.  With its rich fruit flavours, gritty texture and quirky acidity it presents as off-dry while actually concealing 13g/l residual sugar.  Our Chenins are proving to be long-lived and with appropriate cellaring this wine should provide excellent drinking from 2019 to 2039!

"From 37 year-old vines planted by the pioneer of modern Martinborough, Stan Chifney. Dense, flavoursome wine with classic green apple, lime zest and oyster shell flavours supported by tangy acidity. A hot prospect for long-term cellaring." - Bob Campbell 95/100
