I’m a sucker for aged Chenin Blanc, especially when it’s from John Kosovich Wines in Perth’s Swan Valley. I was kindly sent this sample bottle of their 2014 Bottle Aged Reserve (thank you!) and I enjoyed it as I made my annual family’s traditional Christmas cookies. Chenin Blanc is a white wine grape originally from France….
Lush. Absolutely lush explains this Chenin Blanc. It’s a variety that’s hot, hot, hot right now. But you want it chilled. In fact this Thursday the Australian Chenin Blanc Challenge is taking place in Perth FYI.
It’s the annual Swan Valley Wine Show Awards tonight in Perth! Since I can’t be there, the next best thing for me to do is to sip on some SV wine.
I’m a sucker for a good Chenin Blanc and WA produces some of my favourite CBs! This Tripe.Iscariot ‘Absolution’ 2018 Sec Chenin Blanc from Wilyabrup in Margaret River was a new one for me to try recently. I bought it as a lovely mixed pack of WA Chenin Blancs for Chenin Blanc Day in June.

We celebrated baby TC’s 7 weeks in complete style this week! A massive thank you to Jane Brook Estate Wines in Perth’s Swan Valley for this gorgeous gift – you made this sleep deprived mum & dad very happy!! Jane Brook’s ‘Sparkling Gold’ is made from Chenin Blanc grapes and yes it has a ton of gold…
Yes I’m a little obsessed with my unique white wine blends at the moment. This one is a blend of mostly Fiano and Chenin Blanc grapes – two varieties I love by themselves. And when combined, they are pretty tasty too! I received this sample of the Sherrah 2018 ‘White et al’ from Good Pair Days (thank you!!)….
This week we celebrated our bubba being 1 week old! Naturally bubbles were in order and it’s safe to say I have been so looking forward to cracking into this Bonking Frog 2016 Sparkling made from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the Margaret River. A big thanks to Windfall Wine Estate for this sample. Bonking Frog is one…
