Bold acidity with lemon, lime, grapefruit, and green apple flavors. Nice minerality and texture.

Very representable South African Chenin. Big fruit aromas and flavors of apple, pineapple and lemon. Lots of ripping acidity and minerality. Nice texture. Excellent QPR!

I didn’t expect anything great from this one, but it wasn’t bad. Seemed like a good option for a party white.

Coronavirus times....for the first time in my life I bought 6 btls of the same wine. Drinking thru the "cellar " too fast . Needed a budget friendly, ready to drink for warm weather and I knew Raats could do it. Refreshing acidity, lemon, lime, green apple....with time and the burg stem swap, the fruit turned to more yellow apple and lemon vs lime. $15 Tim's. 13.5% ....all day long!
