Tumblong Hills Chenin Blanc 2021

The fruit was handpicked and immediately transported to the winery where it was whole bunch pressed to tank and allowed to cold settle overnight. The clean juice was racked and then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain freshness and enhance varietal character. A small portion was fermented in older French oak barriques to add texture and complexity. The wine blended, lightly fined, filtered and bottled under screw cap.

For the 2021 vintage, that magic has been delivered in wines with bright fruit and subtle power, lovely rounded tannin’s in the reds and ripe fruit acids in the whites. 2021 was a very cool year and one of the wettest on record for Gundagai. It saw fruit yield down by around 30% mainly due to the drought condition from the previous few years and disease pressure that comes with a wet year.
