The 2020 Chenin bursts with green apples and limes, yellow grapefruit, and fresh green grapes along with what is becoming a signature of this wine - a kind of gravelly minerality amongst the fresh-cut fruit characters. There’s a tang to this, in the nicest and most thirst-quenching sense, racy and clean with stacks of pithy texture.

Meta: An abstraction from a well-known concept Handpicked, wild yeast, 85% whole bunch, unfined and unfiltered Fruit source: Bethany 75 year-old vines and Marananga 90 year-old vines Only 190 dozen produced This year’s Meta Grenache has a little more Grenache swagger than previous years of this release. Black cherry, blueberry and lavender scents with nutmeg spice and some alluring fresh red berry edges. Plenty of sappy chomp and it’s packaged smartly with fresh acidity, but a little juicy cherry fruit and pliant tannin to finish Download Tasting Note
