2024 Rocket’s Vineyard Chenin Blanc Released Dec 2024

from A$70.00

Our seventh release of Rocket’s Vineyard Chenin Blanc! We dedicate our single vineyard Swan Valley wines to Rob’s late father and former Australian Test Cricketer Tony “Rocket” Mann. With a lightening arm, Tony was well known to “rocket” the ball in from the outfield to hit middle stump. Aside from cricket, Tony loved wine. An old currant vineyard caught his eye, which he quickly transformed into a Chenin Blanc oasis, with Rob, 30 years ago.

Our organically farmed grapes were harvested by hand and whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented with indigenous yeasts in a stainless-steel tank and seasoned French oak barriques. The wine was then left on its yeast lees through winter and then bottled just in time for spring.

The Swan Valley is known for its heat as one of Australia's hottest wine regions. Yes it was very hot in 2024 but this wine is hot to trot! Fresh citrus pith, christmas cracker funk and a distinct briny finish, this will partner those prawns on the barbie and crayfish sandwiches beautifully.
