Evans & Tate Gnangarra Chenin Blanc 2005 |
|
|
|
In cool areas the juice is high in acid and alcohol with a full-bodied fruity varietal palate, often leaving residual sugar, which will usually improve with age, developing honey and floral characteristics. When the wine is treated as a dry white wine it will still display fruit characters with an intense palate - as in the white wines of Anjou.
In Australia Chenin Blanc is usually presented as a crisp, dry white wine with high acid and an intense fruit palate. Pale straw, highlighted by soft golden hues, there is a rich array of fresh pineapple, citrus and passionfruit aromas, providing an intense and vibrant bouquet. A medium bodied palate displays exquisite fruit intensity and freshness. Soft creamy textures are balanced by fine lemon acidity which carry the fruit characters. Ripper Summer wine!
