ABOUT THIS WINE
The Vino Volta 'Nothing Wrong With Old Skool' Chenin Blanc 2021 is a white wine from the Swan District, Western Australia, produced by Wine Terroirists (trading as Vino Volta). The wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes, sourced from a single vineyard in Gingin with vines estimated to be 50 years old. The producer's philosophy centers on reinventing and reestablishing connections with the wines and vineyards of the Swan Valley, focusing on small-batch production and natural fermentation. The 2021 vintage in the Swan District experienced a warm December followed by a cool January, which facilitated steady ripening and contributed to good natural acidity in the grapes.
