La Kooki's first Chenin Blanc sourced from a single vineyard in Yallingup subregion. Fruit was pressed without any crushing, with the high solids juice undergoing wild fermentation in French oak barriques (17% new). After fermentation, the barrels were topped with our granite stones and rolled monthly over six months, stirring up the lees and adding extra surface area, increasing the texture derived from lees contact. We love this ‘rock and roll’ technique - in fact, it Rocks!
The result was a unique blend . . . ‘Chenin Rocks’.
