TASTING NOTE: 'Skins' is loaded full of fruit characters with passionfruit and preserved lemon notes and palate of juicy tropical fruit and spicy orange pith. The quality of the Chenin sings, with a cleansing acid line and just enough phenolic crunch.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Swan Valley Wines 'Skins’ has become a benchmark for WA skin macerated white wine since it's first release in 2017. Hand harvested from two of the best sites in the Swan Valley for Chenin Blanc. In 2022, Maceration was reduced, to preserve freshness in a warm year. Cool fermentation in Georgian qvevri and maturation in seasoned French oak barriques. Bottled without fining, filtering or additions.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: “Drawing from our combined studies of nature, especially botany, ecology, naturopathy and viticulture, our focus is on sourcing the highest quality, old-vine material available. We are custodian of some of the oldest vines in Western Australia and are one of the only wineries to share a name with the underlying Sub Regional Geographic Indicator. It was only appropriate that we commit to producing zero addition, natural wines, representing the best of our terroir and the Swan Valley’s bio-cultural diversity. Our philosophy is to grow grapes and make wine as naturally as possible and to preserve the unique traditions forged by indigenous and migrant peoples”. Paul Hoffman & Bree Lavell, owners
