@Delectable this is their 18 Chenin Blanc. Just their regular Chenin.

The nose reveals; wet wool, Meyer lemon, pineapple, white peach, tropical melon blend, grapefruit with a touch of sugar, light cream & buttery notes, mixed greens, honey notes, touch of vanillin, delicate powdery chalkiness and minerality with yellow and white fresh flowers.

The body is medium, delicately soft, creamy and beautiful. A touch of wet wool (less than the nose), Meyer lemon, pineapple, white peach, tropical melon blend, grapefruit with a touch of sugar, light cream & buttery notes, mixed greens, honey notes, touch of vanillin, light white spice, delicate powdery chalkiness and minerality with yellow and white fresh flowers. The acidity excellent. The finish is as balanced as it can be. It’s exquisiteness defined. Light rich, ripe and well polished.

Photos of; the entrance to Reyneke, tasting room lounge area, ancient stone tools found in their vineyards and their beautiful mountain view from their Cellar Door.
