Brilliant golden colour. Shy, reticent nose carefully showing some steely, stony and flowery nuances. Lovely broad and well balanced palate of juicy yellow orchard fruit, waxy damp wool and mossy riverbed. Just a beautiful mature dry Chenin, actually a lot better and fresher than the previous bottle I had years ago.

Surprisingly amber to orange in color. Yet also surprisingly drinkable. Only showing a hint of oxidation, this boasts juicy blood orange, tangerine, wet wool, white pepper and macadamia-brittle. Dry white wine, drink soon.
