What the winery says about Forrest Chenin Blanc 2009 ...

Our third Chenin Blanc since the 2001 vintage, and the only example of this varietal in Marlborough. Made in the traditional Forrest medium-dry style inspired by the Loire Valley, with 13grams/litre of residual sugar. An elegant wine to taste now with extended lees contact, aromas of quince, straw & lanoline, with flavours of peach and nectarine. The 2001 is just beginning to reach its peak as I write, and it is so good that I decided to take the last few remaining cases off the market for my own cellar.
