In Chris Alheit, the Wine Society have obviously chosen the best man for the job in producing their Exhibition range South African Chenin Blanc. For anyone new to the style, I say, drink this. It’s exemplary stuff, with bags of Chenin character - and a sneaky long finish, too. On the nose, burnt butter is soon followed by wet gravel and that giveaway zest of orange, and by the second night a note of chamomile had emerged. The palate is brisk and lively, with juicy kiwi and apple flavours that are cut into shape by towering acidity and some gentle tannin.
And all this for £13 ($17). Outrageous value and one to buy by the case. — 3 years ago
16.5/20 (90/100) Вино со сладковатым ароматом яблок, груш, легкой травянистой нотой. Высокая кислотность, меловая текстура. Вино нельзя назвать легким, достаточно высокая экстракция. #capewine2018 — 6 years ago
