Chenin from South Africa. More mineral notes on the nose than fruit. Clean slate, flint, little funky wet wool and waxy lemon peel. Lots of citrus comes through on the palate. Underripe grapefruit, lemon and lime pucker, with a nice white pepper note. Seeping acidity, the finish is a little warm by itself but excellent with food. #cheninigans

Racy Chenin goodness, with balance and structure to spare. A treat.

WOTN in my opinion. It was complex and really food friendly too. Great value would’ve paid 1.5x as much. Acid and minerality was up front then got into the floral and richness after

Vibrant acidity with integrated fruit aroms with long elegant finish. 1 week after i opened, it develop honey aromas with creamy texture.
well concentrated aroma is restrained at first, and it expand gradually.
