The nose shows nice subtle yellow and white florals with mixed greens. Green apple, lime candy, meyer lemon, white peach, apricot skin, fruit blossoms, light white spice and soft chalkiness.
The palate shows bright, fresh, fruits of; Green apple, lime candy, meyer lemon, white peach, apricot skin. More pronounced white spice and soft chalkiness than the nose with fruit blossoms. The acidity again is high. The finish is a little out of balance with the fruit and alcohol.
Photos of; DeMorgenzon grounds, demarcated Chenin block, sign entrance and main tasting bar.

First white wine at Table #4 at Oakton Wine Shops Bucket List Tasting.
Light golden yellow. Buttery attack on the nose with gravel, hay, touch dirty, white fruits and white floral notes. Heavy acidity (7/10) and medium plus to full body. A touch of heat with tropical notes, honeysuckle, granny smith apples and a long mineral finish. Drink till 2027. (91+)

A stellar bottle enjoyed with a tasty meal and across from a great friend who knows his Chenin. This wine has a buttery, smoky creaminess, balanced with a minerality and acidity to pair with a great many things. The wine's big body was not overpowering and was a savory accompaniment to our delicately-prepared grilled skate dish. It also provided a refreshing foil to our habanero fried chicken with the melony fruit coming more to the fore with that pairing. Really outstanding.
