Tasting Notes

Lifted aromas of green apple, lemon rind, nougat and cut hay. Delicate flavours balanced by a long acidity and a mouth-filling, fine bead. One for celebrating or on a Monday night just coz! Winemaking Notes

The Chenin Blanc was sourced from a stunning Wilyabrup vineyard. Hand picked to retain optimal acidity and flavour. Timing was everything. Whole-bunch pressed, chilled and settled in tank with only the free-run retained. Fermented cold with a neutral yeast and stirred on lees after ferment to build texture. Tiraged and left on lees in bottle for 10 months. Disgorged and dosaged with 3g/L sugar and minimal sulphur dioxide – just enough to balance the acidity.

The Story

Pipsqueak was yet another nickname for our beloved Pip aka "Birdie".

Halliday Wine Companion – Jane Faulkner
Hand-picked chenin blanc from Wilyabrup, bottle fermented and aged one year on lees. Well, this has turned out to be a delightful, refreshing and ultra-dry fizz. Expect flavours from candied pear, mandarin and baked apple with a touch of cream. The palate is energised by racy acidity, the finish clean and crisp. Nice one.
