Details
The team at South by South West jumped on board the Margaret River Chenin Blanc craze a couple of years ago and we are glad they did. This is a nice amalgamation of several techniques with some new oak, skin contact and balance of a few years of experimentation. The finishing result is a clean edged Chenin with a nice array of apple and pear offset by honeyed flowers and plenty of texture.

South by South West is the story of Mij & Liv, both sharing a passion for wine and desire for adventure that kicked off with an ultimate wine trip across some of the most sought after wine regions across the globe. In 2016 they turned the pipedream into reality by starting the winery. With a vision for producing a nice balance of fun, contemporary winemaking with classic, traditional techniques. The result is a combination of classic wines like Margaret River Chardonnay balanced with bright and creative Swan Valley Grenache and Pemberton blends. The creative aspect and vision of South by SouthWest Wines is quite literally sourcing wines from across the mass of regions located below Perth in Western Australia. This gives the winery flexibility to produce the wines they want to produce and gives you the broader opportunity to venture into the amazing world of Western Australian wine regions.

Pairing guide
We can’t get enough of this bright and breezy Chenin Blanc by South by SouthWest, which perfectly encapsulates everything we love about this white wine style. Eminently food friendly, it’s a top match for roast cauliflower or cauliflower soup, richer white meats like pork belly and creamy chicken breast dishes, and especially with recipes involving a classic Cantonese sweet and sour character. Coconut milk curries, cashew chicken and roast poultry will all work beautifully, too.
