The nose exhibits honey and beeswax with a slight oxidized note that also reappears at the tail end of the finish. I find it charming. The mouthfeel is round and oily from glycerin. There is a slight pineapple fruit character. A screaming acid finish completes this great bargain of a wine.

Eating Pho and drinking this ZA delight. This is a good bottle for after you've already drained the good stuff. Real talk.

Very oaky. It really takes over the fruit. I was so hopeful after liking mulderbosch's Chenin blanc. Just ok.
