About Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc is one of the world's most versatile and age-worthy white varieties — native to the Loire Valley of France, where it produces wines ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, all with extraordinary honey, stone fruit and mineral complexity. In Western Australia, old-vine Chenin Blanc — planted in the Swan Valley and Margaret River from the 1960s and 70s — produces wines of extraordinary texture, stone fruit richness and age-worthiness that are quite unlike any other Australian white variety.
