Not at tonight’s tasting but I opened it at home to compare to their reserve. Dry, crisp, refreshing. Good value Chenin! 🇿🇦

looking for the perfect Spring white #wine? Think Chenin Blanc fr #SouthAfrica, dependably dry & wallet-friendly. This Ken Forrester 'Petit' is melony and crisp, bursting open on yer palate like a crocus - at perfectly named gastropub YN bar in #nyc

Subtle aroma; scent of freeze dried strawberries (like in Captain Crunch cereal or Strawberry Qwik)

Dry, tart and a SLIGHT buttery smooth finish. If this were a blind taste test I’d say this was a Pinot Grigio with 99% confidence. Still very good, and my first South African wine.
