It surprised me. It’s got a tropical herbaceous thing. Like the tropical cocktail with just enough herb garnish to cut through whatever juice is in it. And bone dry. Do I have a metaphor for this...let’s see it is a movie that’s starts as a chick flick and then has a deep message but then still has a happy slightly cliché ending, and you’re okay with it. It’s the 13 Going on 30 of Chenins. Hop on hop in like the bunny on the bottle.

An unexpectedly oaky finish—not for me, but not bad.

Overall a decent Chenin Blanc. It has the typical tropical fruit notes of South Africa, but they are dulled a little by a spruce of citrus and a little bit of clay left on the palate. I would recommend for patio sipping on a hot afternoon with a mix of spicy snacks.
