Vino Volta Nothing Wrong with Old Skool
2022, Swan Valley, Australia
About the Wine
Sourced from a single 50-year-old vineyard in Gingin, Swan District, WA, on a south-facing slope at 90m altitude with sandy loam soils. The wine pays tribute to classic Swan Valley Chenin Blanc—picked early, aged in stainless steel, and styled lean and fresh. Lees contact over about 8 months adds texture. Bottled October 2022. Alcohol: 12.5%.
Tasting Notes
The wine is bright, with pungent finger lime citrus, granny smith apple, dried lemon myrtle and more subtle tropical character. It has some plumpness in the middle palate with good acidity on the finish. This wine is delicious now and cellar worthy. In time it will develop honeyed, toasty and nutty characters while retaining its citrus core.
