Introducing Evolution 37 Old Vine Chenin Blanc, crafted from an exceptional parcel from the premium growing region of Margaret River. Houghton has a rich history of crafting Chenin Blanc, dating all the way back to 1937 with the creation of our famous White Classic. We honour this historic link with the release of this exquisite, crisp and aromatic beautifully layered and textural wine.
TASTING NOTES
Intense and complex aromatics of apple, lemon curd, quince and pear with floral hints of chamomile, honeysuckle and jasmine. Oaked maturation has provided lifted hazelnut, marzipan, nutmeg and ginger spice.
The palate shows laser focus layers of texture from oak fermentation and maturation combined with regular battonage. The palate shows varietal typicity with pear, lime brulee and quince notes elevated by nutmeg and ginger spice.

TASTED AND TRUSTED
Ray Jordan - Wine Pilot 2024
"Oh my, we’re on to something here. Chenin blanc has been a part of Houghton from 1937...... The palate is intense and complex with tremendous depth and persistence. Has a chalky feel with a characteristically fine bright minerally acidity. It has cellaring potential."

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit 2024
"Poised and restrained, the delicately lifted bouquet shows crunchy apple, apricot, fig and lemon peel aromas. The palate is concentrated and structured with outstanding depth and persistency. Wonderfully framed by saline texture and vibrant acidity, finishing lingering and mouth-watering. At its best: 2027 to 2040"

Tom Kline - Wine Pilot 2024
"Pale straw colour. Rich nutty and smoky aromas lift from the glass initially, before melding with stone and citrus fruits - toasted almond, white peach skin and flesh, lemon preserves, charred lemon.......The palate has a creamy texture cut by grapefruit pith, peach skin and lemon zest before bright acidity cleans and freshens for a long finish...."
