TASTING NOTE:

The 2023 Voyager Estate Chenin Blanc from Margaret River’s Wallcliffe sub-region is a vibrant, organically certified wine that showcases the estate’s commitment to purity and terroir, crafted from 100% estate-grown grapes in the Stevens Valley. Sourced from vineyards with gravelly loam soils and cooled by Indian Ocean breezes, this Chenin Blanc offers a lively bouquet of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, with subtle floral notes and a hint of minerality. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fresh, crisp character, it delivers a zesty palate with bright acidity and a clean, refreshing finish, making it an ideal aperitif or seafood companion.
