Aphelion Chenin Blanc Pir 2024

Grapefruit pith and lanolin lead, with flinty reduction adding grip. The palate is taut and chalky, penetrating acidity driving through concentrated fruit. Oak sits quietly in the background. This has the bones. Both tannic structure and acid spine. To develop beautifully over the next decade.
