Chenin Blanc from Margaret River
Vintage: 2022
Volume:750ml
 
From the 2020 vintage forward Patrick has teamed up with long time friend and fellow winemaker Xavier Goodridge, to produce the range of Jumping Juice wines using fruit sourced predominantly from biodynamic viticulturist legend Mike Sleegers in Margaret River, Western Australia. 
The very name Jumping Juice is a prompt to embrace life. It’s an elixir that shields you from the trials and tribulations of existence. It’s that liquid beam of sunshine concentrated through the prism of the magnifying glass of life. Its very raison d’être simply to be delicious and to act as a catalyst for carousing with the fine folks with whom you surround yourself. These are all very noble causes worth pursuing and Jumping Juice is your conduit to these good times. Proper farming, deep respect for the nuances and rhythms, and making the most of these two and their knowledge of organic and biodynamic farming and winemaking methods come to the fore.
 
This one's got all the cues of Chenin (green apple, lemon curd, grapefruith) but still has tension, acidity, and importantly, a dry finish.
