wax, honeycomb, under ripe pineapple right off the bat on the nose. I am intrigued. light to medium weight, ripe white peach. citrus and melon. Hinting at tangerine. Honey. cantaloupe rind. Very complex on flavor. overall soft in texture and acid. It’s not snappy but it’s far from slack. I’m sure this will develop.

Give it time, don't chill it too much. Was so much better closer to room temp. Great with softer, creamier cheeses.

Not firing on all cylinders. Far from it, but very drinkable.

Melons, peaches, bark, citrus and sugar crystals. Accompanying a fishy lunch in Padstow. Lovely.

Exactly what I was looking for. Nothing unexpected but I always love a fun dry chenin. The more I drink chenin the more I enjoy it. Clean notes with that fresh cotton taste.
