Peacock Wild Ferment Chenin Blanc 2025 Description
This wild ferment expression reveals a captivating aromatic profile dominated by savoury, herbaceous characteristics.
The nose presents ripe fruit layered with distinctive garrigue notes reminiscent of local fynbos and oregano, creating an intriguing complexity. On the palate, the wine unfolds with roundness and generosity, showcasing abundant fruit-forward character punctuated by the honeyed notes typical of naturally fermented examples.
The structure and acidity suggest considerable ageing potential. The savoury, herbal foundation combined with the wine's natural fermentation character positions it well for extended cellaring, where the aromatics will develop further nuance and the palate will gain additional integration and depth.
Early drinking reveals its vibrant fruit, yet patience will reward with evolved complexity and tertiary characteristics as the wine matures over the coming years.
A really versatile wine that will go with a variety of dishes. Try creamy chicken dishes, belly of pork, fresh pasta and carbonara.
