Really delicious with Thai red curry. If you’re looking to mix up your off-dry Riesling + spicy food go-to, this Chenin is the answer!

Notes of lemon, pineapple, ripe peach, honey, and green apple with yogurt and honeysuckle. A bit sweet but plenty of acidity to keep it fresh. A lot like a not too sweet lemon curd dessert. Excellent balance and nice complexity. Sweet initial attack with a dry citrus mid-palate and a clean, lingering, off-dry finish.

Green apple, lemon, honeysuckle and a hint of pineapple on the nose. Slightly sweet on the initial palate, but acidity clears out any sugar and this finishes dry. Love the complexity of flavors and dryness. Medium finish.

Kermit has a winner at a very good price. Green apple, quince, and honeysuckle are carried along by a chalky tone and a yogurt tang at the finish.

Elegant with a hint of rich sweetness 20 g/liter RS). Luscious wine that needs some time to come around. Elegant honeyed notes.
