Corymbia Chenin Blanc 2019 75cl
£21.61
The Corymbia Chenin Blanc is Chablis-like at present, and just beginning to show promise of blossoming into gloriously complex, fragrant, honeyed maturity Delicious already, and it's going to get even better Corymbia is run by Rob and Genevieve Mann - Rob makes the stellar Swinney wines, and is one of the world's most highly-regarded winemakers His CV includes restoring the fortunes of Cape Mentelle and Napa Valley's Newton Vineyards Named after the Marri tree (Corymbia calophylla), that surrounds the vineyard, Corymbia's label represents the tree's blossombut look carefully, and you will see that it also charts temperature and rainfall of the growing season, and so changes subtly with each year Really cool, or really geeky, or perhaps a bit of both

Meinert Chenin Blanc '6Chen' 2018 75cl
£44.00
A subtle Chenin Blanc from two mature vineyard sites that is fermented inside a concrete egg The nose shows promise, with suggestions of quince, pear and butterscotch; opening up to display a rich, toasty, mushroomy character Rich and weighty, it is leavened and knit-together with bright acidity Excellent persistence of flavour on the long finish Everything seems to imply that this will reward keeping a few years to enjoy all it has to offer
