Holy Moses have mercy, cocentrated, near opulent fruit of yellow apples, mango, honey, beeswax with a fistful of roasted hazelnuts and a back beat of wet stones.
Dry palate but with a viscous and almost redundant moutfeel that is balanced and kept in check by a high acidity and a wet stone minerality through a long finish.

My first SA Chenin, and not a bad place to start. Poised and perfectly balanced with a delicate structure. Brown apple with stone fruit balanced with med+ acidity. Mild malo and lees notes, but perfectly judged.

Pale lemon color.
Aromas of citrus, mineral.
Dry. Flavors lime, wet stone, grass, green fruit. Lovely, but lacks intensity.

Vita blommor, mandel och päron. Mjuk smak med viss oljighet, vanilj, lite mineralitet och otroligt fin balans. Lång behaglig eftersmak och överlag väldigt god

Absolutely classic expression of Chenin Blanc. This one has got it all. Very complex and long with a perfectly balanced palate. Refined yet of phenomenal structure. Bravo.
