I have been liking the Chenin grape for a number of years, but mostly from the Loire Valley of France particularly the area around Vouvray. I thought I would venture to the southern tip of Africa to try the Chenin Blanc of this region. The South African Chenin has the typical straw color and the nose is of good fruit, honeydew melon, lemon, and mineral. At first taste there is a good sharp acidity and citrus on the tongue. The flavors last a good long time on the palate. This wine is well balanced with wet rocks and a metallic taste on the backend. This is a good serviceable wine.

A very tight Chenin, good acid and upfront fruit, just lacks drive and finish.

A slight tartness comes right after the initial sweet apple taste. I do get a subtle metallic aftertaste that is surprisingly pleasant. And I'm not a white wine guy.
