A signature white from South Africa, pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, pear and mango with honey notes. Medium finish ending with fruit and sweet.

Pale white in color. Honey and floral notes in nose. Fruity in mouth but dry, astringent finish - hay and lemon flavors. Good food wine, cleanly made, true to varietal character

Crisp, lemon peel, light, porch pounder. They look like flies, but those are the Blue Angels in the background. Baltimore fleet week!

Found a treasure of South African wines at New Seasons. This little gem is has tons of tropical notes on the nose. Soft and lush on the palate where all those tropical fruits play on the tongue. A soft and silky finish. At $8.99 a bottle, I may buy a case!

Nice crisp dry white wine with low acidity - would have this again.

Light to medium bodied. Notes of peach, pineapple, floral, granite, and clay. Drinks well by itself or would pair well with food.

As I ready myself for WSET Level 3 exam, I need to taste more vary my picks considerably. This is chenin blanc from South Africa. Beautiful pale gold, dry, medium alcohol and medium acidity. Ripe apple, peach, lemon, lime. Paired with baked cod. Quite the value at 10 bucks.
