Pale lemon with aromas of sweet stone fruits and blossom notes. On the palate juicy peach, pear and honey with a nutty edge. Medium acidity and finish, simple but refreshing.

Hi residual sugar that's not indicated anywhere on the label makes this a surprising Wine. Pleasant enough in the right environment but not what most people will be expecting.

A bit sweet for my tastes... and lacking acidity.

Nice crisp Chenin Blanc as we watch #tourdefrance stage 3. Good acid and great finish.

A bit austere for my taste. Loire Chen Blanc can be more interesting than this.

Green gold colour. Aromas of botrytis, honey, and pear. Medium-bodied, lush, medium-sweet, flavours of honey, pear, pineapple, and minerally finish.

Give this one a shot with your cheese board. Especially with some blue cheese. It’s got a great aroma of peach and apricot with a bit of blossom. IT’s luscious and smooth with nice level of sweetness.
