Melon and chalk. So fine and floral. Really a 10/10 for what it is. One of the most versatile and value packed white wines on the market now.

Thicker, textured Chenin. Fresh like crunchy green pear, bitter appleseed, celery, white flower petals, and almond skin.

Mild floral and tree fruit aromatics. Medium body with medium acidity and lots of sweet melon fruitiness. Balanced and delicious!

Very subtle aromas of cantaloupe, lots of acid from tart pineapple flavors, fruity sweetness, a round body, very balanced.

Fennel aromas, rounder body but still has an acid tingle. A little sweeter. Get to Know Chenin Blanc Class. #gotm2020

Great QPR and very chardonnay-like, as others have stated. Creamy and lightly perfumed; rich melon on the palate.
