Ashleigh Barrowman Queen of Cups Chenin Blanc 2023

$52.00

Supremely well balanced, poised Chenin Blanc, Ash sums it up 

“It's both crisp and refreshing as well as textural and rich. There is both acidity to keep the wine lifted and due to its extended ageing on gross lee’s and malolactic fermentation; a rounded full finish.”

Wrekin Vineyard fruit was Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, wild yeast fermented and aged on gross lees for 15 months with regular lees stirring building a richer mouthfeel.

Ashleigh Barrowman, mentored by industry legends like Patrick Sullivan, Hans Herzog and Domaine Labet, returned to Marlborough in 2020 to make wines of her own. Enamoured with the Wrekin Vineyard, she crafts distinct single-vineyard, single-varietal wines that epitomise their origins. Balancing vineyard and cellar work, Ashleigh's approach involves sourcing fruit from certified organic vineyards, handpicked grapes, wild fermentation, and minimal sulphites at bottling. The result is unfined, unfiltered wines that authentically express time and place.
