2016. Simple, but tasty. Pear, yellow apple, freshly-laundered linen, dried chamomile. Good example of dry South African Chenin.

Light, refreshing. Hints of pears in syrup and petrol on the nose.

Love this Chenin Blanc. I'm not usually one for demi-sec or off-dry, but this bottle catalyzed my willingness to try a host of other wines I'd not otherwise have considered. Originally bought in Minneapolis, sought out again in Chicago, driving 35 min to get the last few bottles in the metro area.
