Nga Waka Chenin Blanc 2025

$30.00 inc. GST

Colour: Green/gold

Nose: Exhibits lovely ripe red apple, pear and banana notes, with quince and a touch of spice in the background.

Palate: Dry, the wine has a lovely medium to full bodied mid palate with creamy layers and a crisp salivating finish.

Cellaring: Cellar with confidence for 5 – 10 years

Food Match: Chenin Blanc is food friendly due to its good acidity and excellent body, and so can pair with a wide variety of dishes. Try with Asian dishes like sweet and sour pork or Thai green curry.

Winemaking: Our first Chenin Blanc. Cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks with extended time on lees to give texture and weight to mid palate. 30% aged in old French oak barriques for five months.

 

Real Review – Stephen Wong – 91 Points
‘Crisp and tight flavours of lime leaf, lemon rind, green apple and beeswax lead to a chalky, dry finish. The taut acidity emphasises notes of wet stone and dried herbs, providing the structure – along with fine phenolics – for cellaring. Over the next few years, expect honeyed complexity to emerge’. 08 Oct 2026
