A Proud Moment for Our Chenin Blanc
There are certain wines that ask for patience.
Chenin Blanc has always been one of them. A variety that reveals itself slowly, shaped as much by time as by place. From its roots in France’s Loire Valley to its growing presence here in Australia, it continues to surprise us with its versatility and quiet complexity.
Recently, Young Gun of Wine revisited Chenin Blanc across the country, gathering bottles from a wide range of regions and styles for a blind tasting with an expert panel.
We’re proud to share that our 2015 Brini Museum Release Chenin Blanc was selected among the top wines of the tasting.

A Wine Given Time
This wine has spent many years resting, evolving, and finding its balance. What has emerged is something layered and expressive, a reflection not just of vintage, but of patience.
The tasting panel described a wine with notes of honey and honeysuckle, flint and mineral, alongside ripe white peach and gentle herbal tones. There’s a softness to the acidity now, a calmness, with texture and depth carrying through the palate.
It’s a wine that feels complete. One that invites you to slow down and spend time with it.
Chenin Blanc, Revisited
Across Australia, Chenin Blanc is experiencing a quiet revival.
From the warmth of regions like McLaren Vale to newer expressions emerging in cooler climates, it’s a variety that continues to find new voices.
Here in Blewitt Springs, we’ve always felt a strong connection to it, a grape that responds beautifully to our sandy soils and long, even ripening seasons.
It allows us to create wines with both generosity and restraint, freshness and depth.
A Reflection of Place
For us, this recognition is not just about a single wine.
It’s about the vineyard, the seasons that shaped it, and the belief that great wines come from giving things the time they need.
The 2015 Chenin Blanc is a small but meaningful part of that story, one that continues to unfold with every bottle opened.
If you haven’t experienced this wine yet, now is a beautiful time.
