This wine is 100% Chenin Blanc grapes with
fermentation in stainless steel tanks and alcohol coming in at 13%. This wine is
light gold in color and opened up with aromas of apple peals, lemon, pears,
honeysuckle and light floral notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, off-dry
with a rich texture and bright zippy acidity. Very good length on the finish,
almost creamy with loads of energy and honey coated lemon flavours lingering.
Chenin Blanc may be well loved by sommelier and
connoisseurs but almost unknown otherwise, is well worth seeking out for its
endless pairing possibilities (linguini in a cream sauce, seafood and roast
chicken) and age ability. A classic and very enjoyable Chenin Blanc, strongly
recommended. Score 90 points.
