Streicker Ironstone Block Chenin Blanc 2018, Margaret River, WA

by | Dec 9, 2021

French barrique fermented wine, aged on lees for 7 months. The wine has heightened pear and apple skin with a slight savoury pithy edge. Some varietally correct malic acid tartness on the palate as well as a creamy lees driven note. This results in a nicely textured palate with a touch of residual sweetness and a long finish. Good chenin blancs are hard to find in Australia and this one is a good example.

Ratings Key:

Outstanding (Score range 95-100)

Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.

Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)

A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.

Recommended (Score range 89-91)

An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
