John Kosovich Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc 2019

Awards

Swan Valley Wine Show 2023
– Best Wine In Show
– Trophy Best Chenin Blanc

Wine Companion 95 Points – Magnificent stuff, all the texture, gentle maturity, breezy freshness, honeyed notes, fresh lime and gingery apple tones, crisp edges, light chalky pucker and gentle savoury nuttiness – so well judged, such a delight to drink. It nails the brief of a fancy chenin with maturity on its hand and delivers a gift of a modestly matured and wickedly drinkable white of texture, interest and varietal verity. Excellent wine.

Ray Jordan Review 96 Points – Wow, I’ve tasted some wonderful examples of this style in the past, but this one is right up there with any of them. Shows what you can achieve with Swan valley chenin, just by ageing in the bottle. It’s pure chenin. No oak. Starting to show subtle toasty fruit characters with a zingy acid a feature in driving it to a long finish. Still crunchy and mouth wateringly refreshing but that aged character introduces another

Tasting Notes

The John Kosovich 2019 Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc is a stunning expression of the Swan Valley’s terroir, showcasing the remarkable potential of bottle ageing. The 2019 release builds upon the success of the 2018 vintage, offering even greater depth and complexity. This wine has over ten years of cellaring potential, promising an exciting journey as it evolves.

In the glass, the wine presents a delicate green hue, vibrant and inviting. On the nose, it reveals a captivating bouquet of citrus fruits, crisp apple, and zesty lime, layered with subtle toasty aromas that add complexity and intrigue.

On the palate, this Chenin Blanc shows a remarkable concentration of flavour, with a beautiful balance between freshness and texture. The vibrant acidity provides a refreshing backbone that complements the full, elegant finish. The wine harmoniously blends crunchy fruit freshness with gentle toasty notes, offering a mouthwatering experience from start to finish.

This wine is an excellent match for richer seafood dishes, such as grilled scallops or lobster, as well as creamy pasta dishes like mushroom gnocchi. Its structure and freshness will elevate a wide range of culinary delights.

Cellaring Potential

With the potential to age gracefully for another five years, this Chenin Blanc will develop those beautiful toasty and lemony characteristics that make the variety so beloved. It is a standout vintage, ranking among the finest examples of the style.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
