"Fermented by indigenous yeasts in oak puncheons. Dry, crisply refreshing Chenin Blanc with green apple, lime, citrus, saline and oyster-shell flavours supported by attractive, lively acidity. Good now but should age well" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2020

"Wrekin Vineyard is a gently sloping, north facing, organically certified slice of wine real estate in Marlborough’s southern valleys. It’s named after an historic English hill and it’s home to the Chenin Blanc grapes that go into this crisp, refreshing, dry, zesty white. It has less than 2 grams per litre of residual sugar (making it bone dry) and it’s medium to full bodied, thanks to being made from hand harvested, whole cluster pressed grapes, which were fermented on lees, with about 30-40 per cent of the barrel ferment in old barrels. Winemaker Simon Waghorn is still on the fence about the use of barrels in Chenin Blanc since he loves the tight focussed purity of fruit that characterises the Chenin grape, but what can I say? I am a long term fan of this wine for good reason – it’s a stunner, thanks to its fresh vibrancy, barrel or not" Joelle Thomson

The 2017-2018 growing season was the warmest since the first grapes were planted in Marlborough in 1973. Temperatures were 1.1 degrees over the long-term average. It was wetter than normal January through March and made tricky by three extended rain events. A dry period between late February and late March helped the grapes get through in reasonable condition, and the health of the canopies ensured good flavour development.

The fruit was handpicked, whole cluster pressed, and only the cuveé juice retained for fermentation in stainless steel and old barrels. The combination of cultured and wild yeast, fermentation on light grape solids and lees stirring has added texture to the palate, and interesting complexity to the nose. The delicate fruit handling has given the wine a racy and crisp structure. Bottled 20th November, 2018.

ICONIC/RETRO BUT SUPER STYLISH, EXCELLENT QUALITY, PLS READ!!!!
THEY SAY ICONIC BUT AND ARE SUPER IN FASHION TODAY!!! I HAVE TO SAY THAT THESE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY STURDY AND PERFECT FOR GETTING YOUR PRESCRIPTION LENSES PUT INTO, WHICH I AM DOING. EVERYONE IN THE OPTICAL DEPARTMENT AND TWO CUSTOMERS LOVED THESE AND ASKED WHERE I FOUND THEM!! THE LOOK OF THEM IS PERFECT. I LOVE THE PINK AGAINST THE GOLD VERSACE LOGO ON THE ARM. THEY ARE A TRANSPARENT PINK, AND I WANTED TO MENTION THAT FOR CLARITY SAKE. THESE ARE A COMBINATION OF A LARGER RECTANGLE THAT PULLS UP INTO CATEYE GLASSES. THEY LOOK SO SHARP ON AND I RECEIVED COMPLIMENTS WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN, AND I GOT COMPLIMENTS WHEN I PICKED THEM UP! I AM INCREDIBLY HAPPY!! FUNCTIONALLY, THESE ARE PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS BECAUSE MY PRESCRIPTION LENSES ARE TRIFOCALS, AND THERE’S PLENTY OF ROOM TO ACCOMMODATE MY NEEDS. I HAVE A ROUND FACE SO THIS SHAPE IS PERFECT FOR ME. I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SO VERSATILE THAT THEY WOULD BE GREAT FOR ANY FACE SHAPES. I’M SUPER GRATEFUL FOR HOW WELL MADE THESE FRAMES ARE!!!! THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL!!!! WHEN I GAVE THEM TO THE OPTICAL TEAM, I WAS TOLD THAT THESE ARE SUPER STYLISH AND STURDY, AND PUTTING MY PRESCRIPTION LENSES INTO THE FRAMES WILL BE EASY BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGH QUALITY. I HAPPILY AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GLASSES AND BECAUSE THEY ARE STYLISH AND ARE EXCELLENT QUALITY FRAMES. I DONT BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THESE AWESOME GLASSES AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THEM. BUY THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION!!! A++++
