Textured | Fruity | Fresh

The Woody Nook ‘Chenanigans’ Chenin Blanc of 2023 is a bold and beautifully individual Margaret River Chenin Blanc that steps away from the ordinary in all the right ways. Crafted as a tiny small-batch release, it uses natural winemaking techniques to build texture, character and a real sense of personality in the glass. Fermented with wild yeast in a single second-use barrique, aged on lees, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is a wine that leans into richness and texture while still holding onto freshness and energy. Layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus zest and toasted almond unfold across the palate, with notes of lemon meringue and grapefruit adding brightness and lift. Soft, creamy and highly distinctive, it is a Chenin Blanc for those who enjoy wines with a little more intrigue, individuality and boutique charm.

Winemaking

Chenanigans 2023 was made from the first 225 litres of free-run juice drained from a 5.29-tonne parcel of Chenin Blanc, hand-picked on 28th February 2023 at 12.7° baumé. The juice underwent wild fermentation on total solids in a single second-use Marsannay Inspiration Quartz barrique (light toast), with monthly bâtonnage over seven months of oak maturation. The wine was hand-bottled in October 2023, unfined and unfiltered, preserving its full expression.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Roast Chicken with Herbs – The wine’s rich texture and soft acidity pair beautifully with roasted meats.
Soft, Creamy Cheeses – Complements brie, camembert, and washed rind cheeses.
Grilled Scallops – The citrusy brightness enhances the delicate sweetness of scallops.

To fully enjoy Chenanigans 2023, serve at 8-10°C. At this temperature, its creamy texture and subtle complexity shine. If stored in the fridge (5°C), let it sit at room temperature for 7 minutes before serving to unlock its full flavour potential.

FAQ & Technical Terms Explained

Q: What is ‘wild fermentation’?
A: Wild fermentation relies on naturally occurring yeast on the grape skins rather than commercial yeast, creating a more unique and complex flavour profile.

Q: What is ‘bâtonnage’?
A: Bâtonnage is the process of stirring the lees (dead yeast cells) during ageing to enhance texture, richness, and mouthfeel.

Q: Why is the wine slightly cloudy?
A: Chenanigans is unfined and unfiltered, meaning it retains natural sediments and texture for added depth and complexity.

Q: How does oak influence this wine?
A: The second-use French oak barrique provides subtle toasty and nutty notes, adding depth without overpowering the fruit freshness.
