Good chenin with creamy texture while being still acidic, fresh and easy drinking. Prominent taste of stone fruits and some green apple and ctirus. A tad sweet for my liking, but lingers in the mouth nicely. Had with creamy lemon shrimp pasta which fit nicely.

Very robust and complex wine. Lots of refreshing acid upfront and some fruit and then an earthy herbal flavor comes out. Amazing wine
