This runs sweeter than I'd personally like in a Chenin, but that's perhaps my issue. Heaps of tropical fruits on the nose, but the finish, again, could benefit from a sharper acidic note.

Nice wine, more flavorful than most. 2014 vintage.

Passion fruit, jasmine, Apple, star fruit and just the best, crispest, minerally finish. Superb wine. I've had three separate glasses from three different bottles and it is just uniformly wonderful!!!
