Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
All the bittersweet-appley-honeysuckle-honeydew melon-sappy nose notes with a whiff of passion fruit livening it all. On the palate, samesies, but with major hits of grapefruit rind and glistening acidity. At the same time, there is a bit of sapidity, of grip, of (I think some call it) phenolic bitterness at play. It is so good.

Refreshing Chenin Blanc with tropical fruit and stone fruit profile. Off dry style but a nice balance of acidity with sweet. #Capesomm #WOSA

Butterscotch, pineapple and chalk with the right amount of funk.
