Well produced Chenin, with effervescent chamomile, honeycomb, pear, and cheese rind. Definitely some some residual sugar which should make this a popular wine. I can handle a little r/s but personally more enjoyable when accompanied with laser-edged acid.

Clean and pure! The salinity really matches with the seafood spring rolls.
