At Easthope Family Winegrowers, Rod and Emma craft wines that are as much about place as they are about pleasure—small‑batch, hands‑on, and unapologetically expressive.

Their Chenin Blanc from the celebrated Two Terraces Vineyard is a perfect example: pale straw with a glint of green, it greets you with aromas of crisp Gala apple, lemon curd, and a whisper of freshly baked brioche. On the palate, it’s taut and mineral‑driven, with a saline edge and sappy fruit that stretches long and clean, a wine that feels both refreshing and quietly profound. Hand‑picked fruit, whole‑bunch pressed, and fermented in cast‑stone egg tanks give it a supple texture and a sense of energy that lingers long after the glass is empty.

Whether enjoyed now for its vibrancy or cellared to reveal deeper layers, this Chenin Blanc is a testament to the Easthopes’ belief that wine should be honest, soulful, and deeply connected to the land.
