Winery review: "One of the
greatest buys I have tasted this year is this under $10, 100% Chenin Blanc from
the Western Cape. A super flowery-scented nose includes notions of ripe
honeydew melons and pears. This medium-weight, fresh, fruity, crisp, dry,
textbook Chenin Blanc will provide immense pleasure over the next 12
months." 90 Points – Robert Parker
My review: Fresh floral scents mixed with hints of
pineapple and pear on the nose. Fruity, citrusy, but sweeter than expected, and
a little dry on the palate. Citrus flavors, predominately an apple taste, lead
to a lovely tartness on the close.
Food: Did not have with food
