2026 Late Harvest Chenin Blanc

2026 Late Harvest Chenin Blanc

The Chenin Blanc at Cullen was picked at the end of harvest in mid-March on a Flower Day in the Biodynamic calendar. Capturing the beautiful natural acidity of Chenin, the wine was chilled to finish with 130 g/L of sugar. A delicious and fresh dessert wine that will gain further complexity with age.

Vintage Notes
Tasting Notes

The 2026 Wilyabrup vintage experienced a cooler, more measured growing season, allowing for slow and even ripening while preserving exceptional natural acidity and fruit purity. These conditions provided an ideal foundation for wines of freshness, balance, and complexity.

  • Colour Rich golden & straw hue
  • Cellar Now to 10 years
  • Bouquet A blossom of Mediterranean notes of pear, apple & fig, intertwined with delicate hints of toffee, honeysuckle, and a touch of brioche, offering both richness and vibrancy
  • Palate Nourishing and unfolding gracefully on the palate, opening with a welcoming burst of apricot, persimmon, and Pink Lady apple, followed by subtle notes of almond and marzipan. Beautifully layered and balanced by a refreshing acidity that gives energy and persistence to the finish
  • Food Perfectly paired with Cambray Cheese and a drizzle of Cullen Chardonnay Honey
