John Kosovich Mara Chenin Blanc 2021
The Mara Chenin Blanc 2021 is a seriously premium offering from John Kosovich, one of the leading producers of this Swan Valley staple. Crafted with meticulous care, this wine pays tribute to Mary Kosovich, recognising her significant contribution to the family’s winemaking legacy over six decades. All fruit for the Mara is hand-harvested and gently pressed, resulting in a fine, tightly structured wine with vibrant fruit, length, and purity. This younger-release Chenin Blanc highlights the fresh precision and nuance that characterises its early stages of development. This wine is sourced from the oldest Chenin vineyard in the Swan Valley, planted in 1962. Each grape is hand-picked and carefully bunch-sorted, ensuring only the finest fruit makes it into the blend.
The nose opens with refreshing fruit character, complemented by a delicate mix of florals and spices. Unlike the punchy tropical notes often found in other Chenin Blancs, this wine offers a more subtle aromatic profile. On the palate, the Mara delivers tremendous mouthfeel, showcasing a lovely weight and structure that promises excellent cellaring potential. It reveals complex flavours with intriguing savoury and spicy notes, including cloves, star anise, pickle juice, and brine, alongside classic elements of apples, apricots, lanolin, cheesecloth, and wax.
With exceptional cellaring potential, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully over the years.
