Tripe Iscariot Kroos Chenin Blanc 2020

Textural ~ Precise ~ Electrifying

A triumphant return for Kroos, after a phenomenal 2019 vintage Remi Guise search of fruit perfection was once again found in 2020. This is a classically Australian Chenin Blanc elevated with Burgundian finesse and rich in texture, thrilling in its acidity and minerality. Elegant, layered and energetic, Kroos stands as one of the most exciting whites of the vintage.

Why You’ll Love It ❤️

  • 🍋 Signature Chenin flair – lemon-ginger infusion with red apple, quince, and oyster shell brininess
  • 🥂 Textural mastery – creamy lees character meets taut, exhilarating acidity
  • 🏅 Award-winning pedigree – 95 Points from Wine Companion.
  • 🌱 Site-sensitive approach – grown and made with restraint to let terroir and nuance shine.
  • A wine to cellar – vibrant now, but built for evolution over the next 5+ years

Accolades 🏆

95 Points – Wine Companion
“Always a delight to try chenin blanc from this producer, who makes different styles reflecting winemaking inputs, but more importantly, place. This fruit comes off 36-year-old vines in Wilyabrup, hand picked, whole-bunch pressed to French oak barriques on full solids; nine months in barrel post ferment without lees stirring. It’s wonderfully fleshy and ripe with poached quince and lemon curd, red apple skins and a lemon-ginger herbal infusion. And yet, it’s not a big wine, as fine acidity gently leads this to a persistent finish. Complex and compelling”

Tasting Notes 🍇

  • Colour: Pale straw with subtle gold highlights
  • Aromatics: Lemon curd, fresh ginger, quince, red apple and marine oyster-shell nuance
  • Palate: Creamy texture from lees integration supporting intense citrus drive. Layers of quince, green apple, and saline minerality persist, all held together by precise, mouth-watering acidity. The finish is long, clean, and energised.

Winemaker’s Note

“Kroos is our homage to the purity and power of Chenin Blanc—it is restrained where it must be, layered where it can, and always expressive to the last drop.” — Remi Guise 

Viticulture & Winemaking

  • Region: Margaret River, WA

  • Varietal: 100% Chenin Blanc

  • Approach: Remi Guise takes a “berry to stalk” philosophy—minimal intervention, whole-vine expression, and no shortcuts in blending or winemaking 

  • Fermentation & Lees: The wine sees extended lees contact, contributing creamy texture, with controlled acidity ensuring balance. 

Sustainability & Natural Practices 🌱

  • Tripe.Iscariot is committed to low-intervention winemaking and ecological sensitivity, embracing the vineyard’s full expression from canopy to bottle 

  • Remi Guise’s philosophy emphasises using every part of the vine—no waste, no “clean-ups” in winemaking

Storage & Serving Tips ❄️

🔹 Serving Temperature: 10 °C to best deliver the interplay of texture and acidity
🔹 Glassware: Use a larger white wine glass to let aromatic complexity express
🔹 Decanting: Gentle swirl or 10–15 mins open to allow aromatic lift
🔹 Cellaring Potential: Drink 2025–2033+; acidity will carry it forward, lees character will deepen

Food Pairing Suggestions 🍽️

🔹 Fresh oysters or sashimi – to mirror the oyster-shell salinity
🔹 Lemon & thyme roasted chicken – for citrus and texture harmony
🔹 Seared scallops with ginger butter – elevates the ginger note
🔹 Soft, fresh goat cheese – for creamy contrast and bright lift
