2023 Tripe Iscariot Absolution Karridale Chenin Blanc

South Africa has long been pursuing excellence in Chenin Blanc, some of their finer examples are considered some of the best in the world.

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that a South African is taking Australian Chenin Blanc to the next level - ladies and gentleman, this is one serious Chenin Blanc.

In an effort to highlight the variety's ability to articulately communicate terroir, Tripe.Iscariot owner/winemaker Remi Guise is releasing a pair of Margaret River subregional expressions of this often maligned grape. They were stunning to try back to back.

This, the Karridale wine, is a tighter, leaner, more mineral-driven style. Excellent release from Remi. He's on point with his pet variety once again.
