There are times when the only thing that will do the trick is an old-school Chenin. And boy was this on target. Positively crackling with acidity, citrus pith and pear, quince and crushed quartz all vibrating with energy in the mouth. You’d never guess this was a 9 year-old wine. Fresh as a daisy and utterly compelling.

From 60-80 year old vines in one large vineyard site. Chamomile, vegetal, crushed limestone rocks, and a light waft of salt and citrus rise from the glass. Completely linear, full of tension and energy. This has prickly and nervy acidity, great stuff. #chenin #collier
