MMAD Chenin Blanc 2024
Our Verdict
Rave reviews for the stunning 4th release MMAD Chenin ...
"It is rare to see such complexity in youth. Aromatically dense, it builds an impressive, beautifully revealing whole, even within the shortest time in glass. Fashioned upon a central core of red apple, spices and ripe stone fruits, pear and a touch of marzipan, it is immediately engaging in both texture and a fresh liveliness. Delicious now, it can only build further upon the complexity shown. Already, there are emerging honey notes to be enjoyed together with spice, marzipan and ginger adding an additional layer to the base notes of citrus, apple and pear. An extraordinary wine, which heralds a renaissance for the grape in Australia." 96 Points - Jeni Port, Wine Pilot
"The fourth release of this old-vine chenin, and it’s another exceptional one. Half crushed and half whole-bunch pressed fruit, with fermentation in concrete and large oak, then maturation in old puncheons. An orchard stroll, crossing the seasons, with fragrant blossoms as well as crisply ripe fruit. Fresh, waxy red apples and green pear, yellow and lemon-skinned citrus, along with poached apple, cumquat, hazelnut and preserved lemon characters. A thread of mineral tension is the insistent plot line, with winemaking aptly subservient. Chenin blanc has never lacked for potential in the Vale, but the standout examples have hardly been legion. Here’s one." 96+. - Halliday Wine Companion
"There's great purity and tension with a touch of polish. Aromas of melon, yellow apples, lanolin, sea spray and flint. The palate is mid-weighted with a lovely texture balanced by mineral-driven acidity. A very refined example of chenin that’s been crafted for both early drinking and aging." 94 Points - James Suckling
