Swartland Chenin Blanc

Medium gold; medium plus intensity aromas of citrus, pear, underripe peach and apricot; dry, medium acid, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium intensity flavors a bit riper than aromas with melon and ripe stone fruit flavors; medium plus finish, concentrated flavors, very good

Not bad. Herbs, straw, stone fruit.

Good Chenin Blanc, but nothing special. Leave this wine open 1 hour before consuming. Classic and clean Chenin Blanc with a nice acidity in the finish. But not all interesting or complex.

Ingefära, mogen citron, halm, jasmin. Oljig textur, samt avslut.

After trying the Aristoga blended wine last week, I was pleasantly surprised by this 100% Chenin Blanc variant – a far more enjoyable and less confused wine. Made in the typical style of the higher quality SA vineyards. This wine was a rich medium gold in appearance, medium intensity on the nose, offering up waxy yellow fruits, unripe peach. For me it still felt a little understated, lacking some needed acidity. Enjoyable wine.

Clean and light, this currently lacks depth of interest. Probably better with some age.

Really nice, balanced and smooth chenin.

Short finish but interesting acidity and slightly creamy

南アフリカで最も多く栽培されてるのが、このシュナン ・ブランという白ブドウ。第一アロマが強く華やかで、後味に苦味と僅かな酸味が残る。まぁまぁかな。

16/20 (88/100) Аромат с нотами нагретых на солнце камней, яблок и лимонного сока. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью, чуть спиртуозное. Яблочное во вкусе. #capewine2018
