Broad sweetness without RS. Mineral driven nose with hints of tropical fruit. Palate shows more mineral flavors with some pineapple. Some heat on the finish, but finished clean.

The most awesome Vouvray I've had in years. Nearly clear in color, with hay, white flowers and mineral aromas. Bone dry with awesome acidity and mineral/ brine. Love this!!! You?

Thanksgiving early wine: has the wooly entry, mineral core, but a tad tired-the minerality did not 'pop' as it could

Love that this well priced Chenin outclassed some more pricey ones at our Chenin tasting!! Apricot, white flowers, lemon verbena, crushed rocks - pretty!!
