{"product_id":"sigurd-chenin-blanc-2025","title":"Sigurd Chenin Blanc 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Chenin Blanc shows notes of Meyer lemon, flint, and a gentle cashew richness. There’s lemon curd, golden apple and a touch of spice, with a savoury edge of brined citrus and quince sitting just underneath. On the palate, it’s layered but controlled - a fine chalky texture, steady acidity, and a mineral line that keeps everything in place. It builds slowly in the glass, holding both tension and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarieties\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100% Chenin Blanc (85% Barossa Valley, 15% Clare Valley)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.1%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from three sites. An over 60-year-old organically farmed vineyard, most elevated block in the northern Clare Valley brings drive and purity. Vine Vale in the Barossa adds precision from sandy soils, while a small Light Pass parcel brings a bit more flesh and depth. The fruit is pressed firmly to pull out texture and phenolic detail, then fermented naturally on lees for 8 to 20 days, going through full malolactic fermentation. It rests in older French and Slovenian oak puncheons, a 1000L European oak cask, and a 3200L foudre until January 2026, before being gently racked into stainless steel for another 6 weeks, and then bottled with minimal sulphur addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium-bodied, dry white\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Barossa Valley \u0026amp; Clare Valley, SA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBraised rabbit with wine, pine nuts, currants and crème fraîche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrink\u003c\/strong\u003e: Now and over the next 8 years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sigurd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53004563775805,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/7823\/3917\/files\/Untitleddesign-2025-11-26T174121.319.png?v=1764139318","url":"https:\/\/www.smallscellar.com\/products\/sigurd-chenin-blanc-2025","provider":"Smalls Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
