Under appreciated varietal. Minerality and grassy notes, with a butterscotch like finish paired excellent with oysters.

2014 - waxy - melon fruit aroma - lovely favors - still pretty young with room to expand. Very nice Chenin expression!

Floral, slightly sweet, did not notice citrus notes. Had some Chardonnay characteristics with buttery taste on the finish. Excellent chenin blanc

My friend who enjoys very dry wines loved this immensely. I had a sample of her glass; hints of pear and honeysuckle, lovely. I prefer sweeter wines, but even so I did enjoy this.
