I’d say it is out favourite, at least. Another great release from Nick Peterkin. A wine showing waxy green apply, lemon balm, chalk and salt flakes. It’s textural and expansive. Delicious now and very interested to see where this goes with some time in the cellar. – Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCBDB (Chenin Blanc Dynamic Blend).  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA certified organic and biodynamic site at the northern end of the cape. The vineyard is mostly unkept, unpruned and lacks traditional trellising. The vines sprawl everywhere where pigs, geese, guineafowl and cows roam free. The site faces north with a little creek running through the middle of the vineyard.  Native flowers and plants grow under the rows with no herbicides or pesticides sprayed and no cultivation. It is one of only a few certified biodynamic vineyards in the region and was one of the first to receive Demeter certification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit was hand picked and showed varied levels of ripeness through the vineyard and crop, chilled overnight and hand sorted prior to being lightly cold pressed as whole bunches, very gently over a few hours. A portion of the fruit was left to soak with skins prior to fermentation for 40 hours.  The juice was left to naturally settle prior fermentation.  No malolactic fermentation and fortnightly lees stirring prior to being bottled with no fining and a light filtration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTastes like:  pink grapefruit, coconut, passionfruit, passiona, pavlova and lime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVarieties : 100%  Chenin Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVineyards:  Yallingup, Margaret River\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaturation: 10 months in barrique\/amphora\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClosure: diam cork \u0026amp; hand wax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil: gravelly loam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertification: certified organic \u0026amp; biodynamic grapes (Demeter)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinery Note \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Way Cellars","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43408812507254,"sku":"22224","price":82.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/3331\/7750\/files\/15812_Image1_c3bcd2ff-c6b7-4acf-bf2a-a94d4e4aa64d.jpg?v=1778800450","url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/l-a-s-vino-cbdb-chenin-blanc-2025","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
