LS Merchants Margaret River Chenin Blanc 2023

White Wine from Australia - Western Australia
3.500000000 star rating 2 Reviews
Chenin blanc is a key variety for Dylan Arvidson, owner and winemaker of LS Merchants. This is produced entirely from estate-grown fruit in a vineyard almost directly outside the cellar door. Chenin is a variety with a long history in WA but which has seen vines pulled out over the years. Now, with a handful of premium sites remaining, it is gaining favour once again with a number of quality-focused small producers. This example is textured but fine and focused. A handful of barrels went through malolactic fermentation, giving the wine an luxurious plushness, while the other percentage brings zest. The nose is precise but generous and the palate shows lime, pink grapefruit and salt and pepper, with a hint of nougat towards the finish. A testament for the potential of this variety in Margaret River. A 2024 Wine Champion.

Chenin blanc fell out of favour in Margaret River a while ago but is now enjoying a welcome revival with wines such as this. Lemon curd, pink grapefruit and zingy lime juice softened by honeysuckle, creamy and slightly waxy notes along with the region’s distinctive and delicious streak of salinity. Lots going on here, a wonderful gastronomic wine.
