Secateurs Swartland Chenin Blanc

Good wine by the pool… with enough tropical fruits and acidity to pierce thru the chlorine and sun tan lotion!

Lovely drop - lemon and melon

1st SA Chenin very ripe and tight

Ye Old Faithful Chenin of tropical smokey wafts. Rich and supple and a little bit fat. Slightly sweet flavors of passion fruit and sweet clementine and mango.

M+

Pale lemon
Nose: dried citrus, gravel, stone fruit
Palate: citrus, ginger, unripe stone fruit
Medium acidity, high alcohol
Not complex or intense, but pleasant.

Paired with a hard sheep's milk cheese.

Orange blossoms, honeydew, lemon rind, with medium + acid and a creamy leesy mouthfeel. Year in and out, this is such a workhorse - one of the best values out there. Had with a simple garlic butter shrimp pasta.

Lots of character and zest to this, a strong match to stand up to and compliment an excellent curry

Vin intéressant et complexe, odorant, frais en bouche et plein de saveurs mais difficile pour moi de les identifier. Certainement pamplemousse comme souvent mentionné, j'y vois aussi du noyau de pêche amer., du bois, pas très acide, c'est alcooleux mais à la fois rond. Une longueur mais pas tant. 2019.

Winter Worthy Wines Class
Ripe banana and melon aroma with a hint of smoke. Full body with light toasty notes.
