Not exciting, but a perfectly enjoyable S. African Chenin.Blanc that taste true to type. Nice Monday evening bottle with chicken noodle soup.

Creamy and buttery, and a hint of spice, but no oak. Flexible enough to pair with traditional white wine dishes (cheeses, chicken, cream sauce pasta), but rich enough to expand into heavier meals. I paired it with a duck confit, and it worked beautifully.

A very minerally nose with lemon aromas, super bright but weighty on the palate, tart citrus, juicy peach, and lingering minerals. A perfect summer wine!

Licorice and fennel extravaganza. Lemon, lemon peel, and and pineapple come together. Quite nice!

Floral and lanolin nose with lemony tart citrus dominant on the tongue. Wonderful medium finish with just a touch of sweetness. Excellent value.
