Saltfleet Chenin Blanc

Saltfleet Chenin Blanc 2026

$34.00

Originating in France’s Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc is a wonderfully adaptable variety that thrives in a range of climates. Saltfleet’s is grown by the Brini family in Blewitt Springs, rooted in deep sandy soils that bring freshness and finesse to the wine. Barrel fermented and rested on lees for six weeks, this is a beautifully textured, medium-bodied Chenin with juicy stone fruit, gentle richness and a soft, lingering finish. Fresh, vibrant and effortlessly food-friendly, it’s made for a long lunch – especially alongside fresh seafood.

Producer Profile

Locals of McLaren Vale, Jonny Cook and Kyle Egel met at high school, forming a vinous bond that has morphed into Saltfleet. The fruit’s local too, sourced from some of the finest sites in the region. The wines are handled minimally and gently, made in such tiny quantities (just a single barrel for most of the reds), the fruit has to be perfect and the winemaking on point. And so it is.

These are classically styled wines, a homage to McLaren Vale and a nod to the future with newer varietals to the region such as Fiano, Chenin Blanc and Touriga Nacional among the range. Richly fruited, succulent, vibrant, curvaceous and with great movement, Saltfleet are only a few vintages in and already making great wines with humble resources. No doubt about it, a star or two is born.
