Snap pea & capsicum with soft lime, green apple & seashell notes on the nose. In the mouth it's got refined green apple & lime fruits with a light glycerol mid palate and fresh, green, herbal finish.

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.
