Part two of my S African samples of Chenin tasting. Damn. They all have this herb-mineral-underlying-current-of-serious that underlies a tropical nature. I don’t get the honey of the Loire which is good as the acid is lower but I do get...a complexity I’ve yet to wrap my brain around but am happy to keep trying.

Just terrific Chenin. Excellent price point and this wine gives you a lot back. Has that great lanolin, wool and oily flavors like Loire. Great body and mouthfeel. Some earthy notes, not as much as old world. But still lovely.
