Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Chenin Blanc

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

The Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Chenin Blanc 2022 vintage displays a medium light straw hue in the glass with a green tinge and is made in a ripe tropical style with a split personality being elegant on the one hand but serious and bold on the other. Tropical flavours of ripe yellow peaches, white pear, a touch of vanilla blossoms, toast, butterscotch, orange skin and pineapple meet you on the nose. This wine shows many layers as the Chenin Blanc opens up.
