Rusden’s 2024 Chenin Blanc is a Barossa Valley classic, barrel fermented in French oak for a textured yet vibrant expression. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking aged white wine with both freshness and depth.

Rusden’s Vine Vale vineyard, deep white sand over red clay, yields low?cropping Chenin Blanc vines. Hand?picked fruit is gently basket pressed to preserve purity before oak ageing.

This barrel?fermented Chenin Blanc stands out for its combination of citrus zing and tropical ripeness, making it a must?buy for lovers of complex white wine with cellaring potential.

Winemaking: Whole?cluster pressing followed by ferment at cool temperature in 225L French oak barrels, no malolactic fermentation, then 8 months on lees for richness.

Pairing Suggestions: Seared scallops with lemon butter, goat’s cheese tart, roasted cauliflower with almond butter.

Tasting Note: On the nose there are lemon drops, wet stone and hints of guava and pineapple. The palate is rich with citrus, tropical notes and balanced acidity, finishing clean and persistent.

Origin: Barossa Valley, Australia

Rusden

Rusden Wines began as a weekend passion project in 1979 when Christine and Dennis Canute coaxed new life into a run?down Vine Vale vineyard. What started as a “hobby farm” has evolved into a hands?on family estate where each vine is coaxed back to its best through meticulous grafting and pruning. Today, Christian and Amy Canute carry forward that legacy, blending old?world Barossa grit with a fresh, experimental spirit drawn from the region’s pure white sands over red clay.

Rusden’s signature lies in balance and structure: wines that champion vineyard terroir rather than cellar wizardry. From the grafted Grenache and Shiraz in their Driftsand GSM to experimental releases like Wildwood Cinsault, every bottle tells the story of Vine Vale’s unique soils and the Canute family’s unwavering belief that quality trumps quantity.
