Peel Estate Oak Matured Chenin Blanc

100% handpicked Peel Estate grown fruit, which is then whole bunch pressed and pumped directly into 450 litre french oak barrels for primary fermentation. Large format barrels are used so the wine can develop with extended lees contact giving this wine a depth of flavour and complexity that wine drinkers have loved in this style of Chenin for years.
This wine has also completed malolactic fermentation to give the palate a round soft finish and reduced acidity. This malolactic process is also where the beautiful golden colour and enhanced “Honey Suckle” character typical of Chenin Blanc comes from.

The 2012 vintage has aromas of baked apple pie, honey, dried apricot and subtle cinnamon notes.
The palate of the Peel Estate wood-matured Chenin Blanc reveals a medium to full-bodied character with a creamy texture, enriched by flavours of baked orchard fruits like pear and quince. These are complemented by hints of caramelised pineapple and dried fig, underscored by a balanced acidity that maintains freshness throughout. The oak influence, though present, is well-integrated, offering the fruit to play the main role. The finish is long-lasting, leaving impressions of almond and honeyed sweetness, with a lingering minerality that reflects its unique terroir.

Great with most food types, especially cheese boards. Serve only slightly chilled, best around 8c.

By 1980, additional varieties including Chardonnay, Verdelho & Cabernet Franc.

During the summer months, the Peel Region enjoys a Mediterranean climate characterised by warm to hot days tempered by cooling sea breezes. This coastal influence helps to moderate temperatures, ensuring that the grapes ripen steadily and evenly, developing optimal flavours and sugars without excessive heat stress compared with the Swan Valley.

In contrast, winters in the Peel Region are relatively mild, with cooler temperatures mitigated by the ocean’s thermal mass. This moderating effect prevents extreme cold snaps that could potentially damage vines, allowing them to enter dormancy naturally and recharge for the growing season.

Rainfall patterns in the Peel Region also play a crucial role in vine health and grape quality. Typically, the region receives most of its rainfall during the cooler months, which helps to replenish soil moisture levels after the dry summer. This seasonal distribution of rainfall supports balanced vine growth and grape development, contributing to the overall quality and consistency of wines produced at Peel Estate.
