Unmistakably Chenin. Honey, lemon oil, and caramel apple. Beautiful balance. Off dry.

Melon, citrus, stone. Orchard fruit. Med to med+ body. Some racy acidity balanced against an off-dry finish

Francois' only still white bottling for 2016 after over 75% of crop was knocked out. Pulls from his 3 main vineyards. Only 1,600 cases.

A truly ethereal Chenin. Ripe juicy white peach, lemon drop candy, honey (upon open I couldn't help but think honey BBQ)/ smokey honey. Fresh garden greens and white flowers. Slightly oxidative nuttiness. Creamy custard. Canned pears.

So good.

I almost forgot how good a well done chenin blanc can be, especially in the hands of masters.

Tropical fruit and medium body, well balanced acidity. Really good with Indian food. A good sipping wine as well.
