2016 vintage. Yellow apple skin, lemon pith, chamomile, pear skin, wet white rocks. A bit of phenolic bitterness makes me think that this would hold up well to some heartier poultry preparations.

To celebrate my kitchen remodel I chose this Chenin Blanc which I don’t normally drink but am enjoying. It has a little floral to it which is not something I usually like but it’s not overwhelming. Very crisp, semi dry with a hint of lemon.

Not extremely fluent in South African whites.... This Chenin Blanc fluttered with an array of honey, apricot, and subtle oak. Perfect summer white.

2011. Fantastic. Pear and orange zest with a good dolt of honeysuckle.

Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2010 - aroma of lemon zest, some chalk, some white flowers, some green grass. Palate is full and lush, soft lemon and lime, lanolin, acidity is a bit tamer than I expect. Hints of spice, 19% of the wine was fermented in French oak then barrel aged for 5 months. It's a year or two in bottle, though probably still has a year or so to go!

Textbook Chenin Blanc (Steen). Stone fruit, honey, hint of white pepper...a little slippery and tart for me. Didn't pair well with salmon roe.
