The Chenin Argument

The Chenin Argument: Debut Tasting

For 15 years, we've been arguing about whether Chenin Blanc could truly thrive in the Barossa. Daniel had his doubts. Belinda was convinced it could work.

After years of searching (and plenty of heated discussions), we found a small Barossa parcel of this beautiful variety. Hand-picked early during a scorching February week, whole-bunch basket pressed, and fermented in old French oak, our debut Chenin Blanc has been secretly guided to bottle.

Now we need your help to settle the argument.

What to Expect:

Join us for an intimate afternoon at The Cutting vineyard in Stone Well, where you'll be among the first to taste our debut Chenin Blanc alongside our 2025 Grenache and much-loved Cinsault. This is a casual, come-as-you-are gathering with sunshine, great company, and wines we're genuinely excited to share.

What's Pouring:

• Debut Chenin Blanc – fresh and textural with zesty citrus and peach notes (the star of the show!)
• 2025 Grenache – bright, vibrant, and full of character
• 2025 Cinsault – our much-loved lighter red that keeps selling out
• 2022 Single Vineyard Shiraz (97 points, Decanter) – official release

Food:
We'll be serving authentic Braai Broodjies — South African cheesy toastie goodness cooked over open fire. Think melted cheese, chutney, and perfectly toasted bread. The perfect match for Chenin!

Wine Purchase:
The Chenin Blanc will be exclusively available to purchase on the day and won't be on our website until after the event. This is your chance to secure bottles before anyone else.

Event Details:

• Date: Saturday, November 1, 2025
• Time: 1pm – 4pm
• Location: The Cutting, 439 Stonewell Road, Stone Well SA 5352
• Price: $30 per person

This is a small, intimate release with deliberately limited production. Come meet us in the vineyard, taste the wines, and help us decide: who was right about Chenin in the Barossa?
