Beautiful light golden color and a nose of of stewed apricots. Flavor is surprisingly oxidized. The wine is organic but doesn’t have funkiness necessarily. Short finish. Just fine. Not enough depth.

Nosegasm, even refrigerator cold.
This wine is everything I love about chenin blanc. Spice, cola, floral honey in the nostrils. A honey velvet texture a lingering aftertaste, perfect refreshing acid balance. Damn good wine.

Citrus, white flowers, spice, lanolin. Nice acidity, great QPR. Only quibble is that it’s a bit dilute.

Feels a bit more exotic and joyful than your standard chenin, likely from some barrel aging. Great concentration and acidity. Quite complex and the most interesting chenin I’ve had in a couple years.
