GOLD for Our Chenin Blanc
Certainly a night to remember! The Langton’s 2020 Margaret River Wine Show gala was a spectacular evening, surrounding my some of Margaret River’s finest wine industry makers. We are privileged to have received the Hahn Corporation Trophy for “Best Oaked White Other Than Chardonnay” for our beautiful St Johns Limited Release 2019 Wild Fermented Chenin Blanc.
This wine also rated highly, scoring 93pts, with Ray Jordan and James Halliday.
“The guys have really fiddled around with this to excellent effect. Handpicked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented and extended lees contact. I like the spicy lift…and how this balances the richer textured fruit resulting from the skin contact. Layered and thoroughly engaging.” – Ray Jordan
“The typicity of Chenin is masked here by barrel work and lees stirring, so instead of delivering a ‘Chenin’ experience, this is a texturally complex white with great length of flavour. All things in place with a lick of salivating salty acid through the finish.” – James Halliday
