  100% chenin blanc with natural wine making.
  cut grass, pear, ammonia, citrus. It's a monumental natural wine. father of natrual wines. But It's like a lower version of well-made petnat. subtle bubbles. not impressive. M- volume and intensity.

  Another Chenin, this one coming from older vines (around 90 years old). This was bit crazy, over the top for me. Really dry, chalky taste - like licking crushed pills off fresh paint. Too much volatility, tasting more like cucumber-lemon brine than wine. Great example how these wines can sometimes end up in the downright Gonzo genre.
