Pais grown on granite soils in the far south of Chile's Itata region. 150-year-old vines that give a sense of Chilean winemaking from before Cabernet and Carmenere took over.

Well-regarded entry level old-vine Chenin (planted 1960s to mid-70s) from the esteemed Badenhorst estate. Word from Swartland is that 2025 was a dream vintage. Vigneron's notes: Flinty aromas with notes of honey, orange blossom, and white stone fruit. It has exceptional texture and palate weight, with lovely, concentrated flavours.
Beautifully complex, with a big aroma profile and pronounced grapefruit, quince, and spice flavours. The mouthfeel is grippy with a refreshing tannin structure. - Vigneron's notes
Antoine Sunier is working with some of the best single vineyard sites in Beaujolais. This is the perfect wine to match dark poultry meat. Also available in party size!
NOTE: The current vintage is 2023, not 2018 as pictured.
From Cépie in Limoux Valley, at a 9 hour transit from Spain. Cepie is a limestone plateau that peaks at 350m overlooking the Aude. Confluence of Mediterranean and Atlantic influences. This organic, no-sulphite-added Chenin was whole bunch pressed and follows through to it's Malolactic fermentation making things blessedly creamier.
