The Wrekin Libby's Block Chenin Blanc 2019

A discernible Chenin Blanc, with balance and harmony.

Pure scents of ripe orchard fruits and greengage plums. A bright, mineral approach leads you to a generous, richer mouthfeel, and a clean lingering finish with hints of roasted almonds.

    Growing Season

    Another wet winter meant soil moisture levels were above field capacity come spring with helicopter spraying required for first few rounds. The Pinot Noir bud-burst the same as 2020 but the two whites were at least a week ahead of last year. Flowering was pretty cold with a lot of southerly influence whereas Jan and Feb were incredibly hot. Chardonnay took an age to go through veraison but the others were similar to last year but then the veraison to harvest timeframe must be the shortest ever.

    Harvest & Winemaking

    10/5 and Abel benefited from going early with thinning in particular. LBAM levels at harvest given early season population. Fruit quality. Topping worm counts. Biodynamic inputs. Wine tastings. Winery relations with increase of numbers.
