2022 Easthope Two Terraces Chenin Blanc

94 Points Bob Campbell MW
In stock
A classy Chenin Blanc from a small family operation in Hawkes Bay. Rod Easthope was head winemaker at Craggy Range before he left to tend his own vineyards alongside his wife, Emma. This outstanding Chenin is sourced from the famous Two Terraces vineyard, where the cooler elevation produces a wine of bracing clarity but also smooth, harmonious texture. Delicious now and with potential to age, this is one of the best Kiwi Chenin Blancs available.
$37.99 in mixed 6+ or $42.99 per bottle

Its Origins

What The Critics Say

94/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Intense chenin blanc with impressive depth and an almost chewy texture. Youthful wine with locked-in flavours suggesting green apple, cashew nuts and ginger. The wine shows promise for bottle development and deserves to be left for at least 4-5 years before opening. 29 SEP 2023." Drink 2023 - 2040
