Our ninth release of Rocket’s Vineyard Chenin Blanc! We dedicate our single vineyard Swan Valley wines to Rob’s late father and former Australian Test Cricketer Tony “Rocket” Mann. With a lightening arm, Tony was well known to “rocket” the ball in from the outfield to hit middle stump. Aside from cricket, Tony loved wine. An old currant vineyard caught his eye, which he quickly transformed into a Chenin Blanc oasis, with Rob, 33 years ago.

Our organically farmed grapes were harvested by hand and whole bunch pressed. The juice was then fermented in stainless steel and large, seasoned French oak barrels before resting on yeast lees for 4 months.

The 2026 vintage has all the energy - preserved lemon, white nectarines, pear and chamomile unfold to a palate that is textural, waxy and saline. The acid is crystalline, the mouthfeel chalky, and the finish hits with clarity and an all-round deliciousness.

Drink it young for its freshness and verve or let it rest for a few years to unfurl.
