Western Cape Chenin Blanc Viognier

This wine is straw colored in the glass, and it pours up a bit frizzante. It smells wonderful, with notes of honeysuckle leading the way, followed by lemon, lime, and apple aromas. The palate shows delightful stone fruit, tropical fruit, and a hint of citrus. The acidity is not as fresh as I would like, but it serves the purpose of livening up the sip and affording easy pairings with a salad, a baked potato, or a Caprese sandwich. It is not a terribly complex wine, but for six bucks it will certainly do.

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.

TJ’s Wednesday Round 2

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.

85 points.

$5.

Easy drinking with what seemed like a touch of sweetness.

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.
