2023 Voyager Estate Chenin Blanc- Margaret River WA
Fruit for the Chenin Blanc comes from three organically farmed estate blocks on the Voyager Estate property. Voyager has some of the oldest Chenin Blanc in the Margaret River region, with some of the vines planted as far back as 1978. The vineyard soils are mostly gravelly loams with stony clay subsoils, providing excellent drainage and good moisture-holding capacity. The resulting fruit has exceptional balance.
From another excellent vintage characterised by sunshine and warmth, this year’s wine is an intensely flavoured, beautifully ripe expression of Margaret River Chenin Blanc. Made in the classic Voyager mould, organically grown fruit was hand-picked and immediately pressed to tank on arrival at the winery. The juice settled over the following two days before fermenting in stainless steel and older French puncheons (20% new). Following a short maturation, the parcels were blended before bottling in June 2023
