Pale clear straw colour with subtle aromas of apple, pear, honey, melon and some white flower. Light body with a crisp acidity. On the palate, pear, apple, lemongrass, orange with some minerality and wet clay on the short-medium finish. Versatile wine, almost like a pinot grigio but with more acidity.

May 2020. From Kimberly Greenport. Really lovely Chenin Blanc. With great balance of bright fruit and thicker peach. 90.

Lemon and passion fruit, with an acidity piercing like an arrow through layers of limestone.
