Legendary Juice!

This Chenin Blanc delivers a soft-tasting wine with a hint of citrus to bring some extra character to the story. Made from a single block of wild- fermented Chenin grapes, a small portion was fermented in our concrete eggs to add some background texture and upfront flavour. The rest old oak. Splash some into a goblet and pair with a feast fit for a king. Or, just enjoy with a parcel from the local fish n' chippery. Legends don't discriminate.

Clarence House was built in 1830 on land which was originally the market garden for the City of Hobart. The present owner, David Kilpatrick, first planted vines on the North-East slopes of Clarence Plains in 1998.
