The colour does not match with it green fruit flavors. Seems made from oak-fermented in a short time, the wine info wrote.

Seems a good expression of chenin blanc, a variety Iā€™m not so familiar with. Ripe stone fruit nose with some lemon and saline characters. Soft lemon palate with a pithy finish. Calls for food.

Blistering Chenin. Awesome. Slightly funky honey and an edge of G&T. Seriously, this has a gin- juniper edge to it.
