Limited Release
2011 Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc $85.00
We have dug into our Museum stocks in the cellar and have decided to release a limited quantity of 2011 Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc. This wine was pivotal and set the benchmark for all of our multi award winning Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc vintages that followed.
The fruit selected for this wine was sourced from vines planted in 1962 on our Swan Valley vineyard. The 2011 season was exceptional, with a warm dry summer from which the fruit obtained full flavour without any issues in the vineyard. Aged on very fine lees in tank before being bottled in October that year.
The wine offers gentle aromas of lime, apple and toasty hints. With the age, comes a fantastic bright green colour as well as complexity and depth of fruit flavour. Mineral tones and lemon/lime tones are evident on the palate and layers of flavour burst through the spectrum. A full flavoured wine with lovely mouthfeel. The wine has a clean, dry finish making it a great match to a range of cuisine.
Despite already being almost 14years old there is still plenty of life left in this wine and will cellar well for those who are patient enough to put it aside.
$85.00 available at the cellar door
Three Generations of Winemakers
We are an established boutique family owned and run winery, which consistently produces small batch, exceptional, full-flavoured wines.
Our aim is to reflect the unique qualities of the Swan Valley and Pemberton wine regions of Western Australia.
Our Swan Valley vineyards focus on the production of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. In Pemberton the cooler climate and soils of gravelly loam allows us to grow quality Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.
The winery has a unique blend of old and new, reflecting the more than 100 years that we have been established. On the way to the below ground cellar door, visitors walk past the aromatic liqueurs and red wines aging in oak barrels.
Our wines all share a common theme, being flavoursome, balanced, soft and dry. We do not use excess oak as we believe that oak should only play a small part in the make-up of the wine, to ensure they best express their varietal character.
All our wines are made and bottled on the premises from Kosovich estate grown hand-picked grapes.

Current release
John Kosovich Wines Bottle Aged Chenin Blanc
A lovely expression of Chenin showing slight apple crunch and subtle spicy tones. Wonderful complex flavours on the palate and great texture gives this wine plenty. Tight, green apple acid structure balances up the wine and ensures fantastic cellaring potential. Look for 10 years plus cellaring to develop toasty, lemony bottle aged characters that this variety is renowned for. Great to pair with cheeses, seafoods or roast chicken
