Aromas of juicy pineapple, white flowers, and ripe nectarine. Love the unctuous texture on this, it’s palate-coating and luxurious.

Lilly of the valley. Ripe pear, apricot and melon. Wet stone. That signature Chenin metallic note (typically referred to as “wet wool”, but that sounds drab and unappetizing, so I prefer to call it “Golden Fleece”.) Richly textured and vivacious. A touch of yuzu on the finish. From 40+ year old bush vines in Swartland. A nice treat & an incredible value.

Mineral driven with a bit of unripe peach. Slightly bitter.
