This wine is good. I was worried it was gonna be sweet but it's not. Notes of stone fruits. Smooth and a clean finish. Not dry at all. It reminds me of a Chardonnay because it has a bit of a buttery finish.

Such a nice, affordable Chenin Balnc! Lovely fruity and piney notes while still being light and refreshing. Great for summer.

Possibly my 1st Chenin Blanc. I would equate it to a soft Sauvignon Blanc. It's a little acidic but not as bitter nor juicy. Not something I would gravitate towards given other chkices like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, but def preferred over Sav Blanc so a viable option when needed.

Average. Creamy and slightly Oaked. Nothing mind blowing, not that I expected much. A simple bottle that could be an easy drink.
