2024 KP Naturally Chenin Blanc, Margaret River

Light-mid yellow; smoky lees and nutty ferment aromas come first, while the palate is intense and bright, with good concentration and drive, the acidity backing up with cut and thrust. Juicy mid-palate fruit is pulled into line by refreshing acidity and the finish is long-lasting and seriously appetising. A very good example of chenin blanc. Drink 2025 to 2034.

Such a cheery, zesty and refreshing drink with delicious flavours of pear skin and fles,. Granny smith apple, galangal and a slip of lemon shrebet. There’s texture but this is mostly racy with fine acidity throughout. Splash this around at a party and you’ll be everyone’s friend. Drink 2024 to 2027.

KP Naturally Chenin Blanc from Margaret River is a lively and textural white that brings out the wild, refreshing side of this versatile variety. Crafted by Keiran Parker using minimal intervention techniques, this is Chenin Blanc with personality—pure, unfiltered, and full of character, driven by energy rather than polish.

The fruit is sourced from mature vines in the warmer pockets of northern Margaret River, where the maritime climate delivers ripeness while preserving natural acidity. Grapes are hand harvested and whole bunch pressed, then fermented with wild yeasts. There's no fining, no filtration, and little to no sulphur added, keeping the wine as raw and expressive as possible.

Fermented in a mix of stainless steel and older oak, the wine gains texture and savoury depth without losing its crisp, zippy core. It spends time on lees to add creaminess and complexity, but retains the bright, orchard-fruited charm that Chenin does so well in this part of the world.

In the glass, expect notes of crunchy pear, quince, lemon zest, subtle almond meal, and a whisper of wild honey. The palate is dry and vibrant with mouth-watering acidity, soft phenolic grip, and a mineral finish that lingers with salty citrus and spice.

This is a Chenin for people who like their whites full of life and texture—perfect with grilled prawns, Vietnamese salad, or a wedge of aged Comté.
