Details
You can almost see the tang in this super-powered Chenin Blanc. Only medium bodied, but that doesn't mean it lacks oomph, instead it packs in layers of ultra tangy lemon, lemon rind and lemon peel with this almost chewy length that means you might still be tasting it next week.

Talk about contrasts. As you drive down Caves Road in Margaret River, on one side of the road, you pass the cheesy fun of the Yallingup farm and mini golf (with a full 18 holes!), and on the other, the engrossing biodiverse beauty of the Windows Estate. As custodians of this property, Chris Davies and his wife Jo believe this unique place isn't just a vineyard, it's a living, breathing organism. Two natural springs rise on the property, feeding five different plots and three completely different soil types. It's a grapegrowing kaleidoscope, farmed organically with minimal additions, no irrigation, and everything done by hand (right down to whipper snippering the weeds rather than using sprays). And the wines? Well, they're just as considered, with moderation, savouriness, and the sort of detail that you would normally see in much fancier wines from much more far-flung places. The only challenge is about volume. With just 9 hectares of vines, the Windows Estate releases are among the most sought-after 'wines you'll never know about' in the country. We're stoked to have some at GPD finally!

Pairing guide
Juicy and energetic, the 2023 Petit Lot Chenin Blanc balances orchard fruit richness with snappy acidity and a waxy texture. It’s a brilliant match for pork belly with apple slaw, roast chicken with quince, or even a spicy Korean fried cauliflower. The wine’s texture can stand up to richness, while its brightness lifts every bite. Try it with soft cheeses (brie, camembert), roasted fennel, or pumpkin gnocchi with sage butter. Chenin’s versatility is its superpower—this bottle can go from aperitif to main course effortlessly. An adventurous white that rewards flavour-forward pairings.
