Spring in a bottle

Doesn't taste fully ripe

The brief post-Manzanilla ageing simply adds a line to the makeup of the Manzanilla

Some earthy and dried herb notes underpin what comes before

This wine has pleasant

Frédéric Mabileau ‘Chenin du Py’ 2018 the-pawn-wine-co Spring in a bottleComplex and textural style of Chenin with thoroughly fresh and mineral complexity. The acidity is remarkably fine and nicely balanced by the chalky salty minerality. White peach aromas and tangerine combined nicely with the smoky notes of a well integrated barrel fermentation. It finishes with a back and force between ripe fruit and citrusy acidity with the fruit always shining through.
