Villion Henning Chenin Blanc 2018

Tasting Notes

Captivating aromas of freshly cut ripe yellow Kakamas peach fruit, with layers of dry fruit, vanilla pod and caramel foam. Fruit from this 37-year old vineyard underlies the complexity and richness in flavour profile.

Mouth filling and layered texture with a lively freshness and delightful minerality. Salty quince taste reveals the spontaneous fermented nature of the wine.
