2016 vintage. Yellow apple skin, lemon pith, chamomile, pear skin, wet white rocks. A bit of phenolic bitterness makes me think that this would hold up well to some heartier poultry preparations.

Dec 30th, 2018To celebrate my kitchen remodel I chose this Chenin Blanc which I don’t normally drink but am enjoying. It has a little floral to it which is not something I usually like but it’s not overwhelming. Very crisp, semi dry with a hint of lemon.

1 person found it helpfulMay 18th, 2014Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2010 - aroma of lemon zest, some chalk, some white flowers, some green grass. Palate is full and lush, soft lemon and lime, lanolin, acidity is a bit tamer than I expect. Hints of spice, 19% of the wine was fermented in French oak then barrel aged for 5 months. It's a year or two in bottle, though probably still has a year or so to go!
