Passable. Some sweetness here. It offers Chenin's (79%) mineral tone in bitterness only and plays more of the cooked pomme fruit of Viognier (21%) in fruit character.

A nice and simple white blend from South Africa.

Off dry with citrus, lemons, tropical fruits, gooseberry, honey, apples and melons with bright acidity.

Fruity with a tangy ending of limes and a great flowery nose.

Good for parties and good by itself.

I paired it with the beach 😊

A blend of 79% Chenin Blanc and 21% Viognier.

13% alcohol by volume.

Nice pineapple and tropical fruit notes with some grassiness. It has some body to it, making it perfect for cheese, salads, chicken...you name it. Very versatile and for $4.99 I'll keep it on hand for sure.

Too sweet this vintage. Too much viognier for our taste.

Run don't walk to TJ's for $5. Honeycomb, slightly floral, bright citrus, peach, bit of tropical, a bit of nice palate weight from the viognier. Will keep on hand for summer for sure.

Light refreshing fruity. Not too dry. For under $10 very tasty.

I liked this Steen blend with tastes of white tea and peach.
First wine from South Africa I actually thoroughly enjoyed, I'm apprehensive and relieved to say.

Very nice and inexpensive ($6?) from Trader Joe’s - more body than a Pinot Grigio, no oak, no grapefruit like a sav blanc. Easy to drink - great for parties
