Lanolin, honeysuckle, and wet stones with loads of acidity and texture. Pure and decadent Chenin.

2012... Waxy, vibrant, tangy, delicious. A princely wine from so-called simple terroir.

Great Chenin, perfect with seared scallops, fennel and capers. Ripe lemons and fennel seed meet stoney minerality and, both of those are also in the scallop dish, epically harmonious pairing!
