2024 Voyager Sparkling Chenin Blanc

Western Australia’s sunshine in a bottle. This sparkling Chenin Blanc is a fresh, crunchy aperitif style with real personality made for long lunches and warm afternoons.

From the organically farmed Weightmans Block 1, this is a bright and zesty sparkler that captures Chenin’s natural vibrancy. It’s all hand-harvested fruit, mostly fermented in stainless steel with just a whisper of oak (5% in new puncheon) for subtle roundness. The wine then rests on lees until disgorgement to build complexity and polish the bead.

Expect aromas of green apple skin, elderflower and lime blossom, followed by a palate that’s alive with citrus zest, faint pastry notes, and a chalky, mineral edge. The finish is crisp and dry, with the energy and lift that make Chenin such an underrated gem for sparkling.

A homegrown, sunshine-ready sparkling wine that offers something different and delicious from Margaret River.

"a wine of neatly lifted green apple and pear skin aromatics, with fine florals and soft suggestions of sourdough starter. There’s a fine pithiness to the palate, a gentle phenolic squeeze that rounds the wine off beautifully."
