Rather good South African chenin and budget friendly too. Pale golden color, clear hues. Honey, pear, and apricot aromas that lead into an acidic body with tart lemon juice. Finishes nicely too.

My brother brought back some cheese from France. A Comté de Jura and a Salers for tonight, pairing nicely with our wine before dinner.

Nov 21st, 2021Just what I wanted as my starter wine tonight. Nice and crisp, lemony, with a creamy light finish.

By the glass in a food court in Warsaw.
No notes taken while tasting, this is written from memory the day after.
The nose showed some citrusy notes, some honey, some exotic fruits too (pineapple, mango). The palate showed textbook acid drive but also a fruity side that is very different from the expressions I'm used to from the Loire Valley. Mango and pineapple and a wide, opulent mid palate with that fruity, almost sweet touch. The finish is rather long but fresh thanks to that great acid drive, making it a refreshing and satisfying sip. Easy going 👌🏻

Lovely expression of south African chenin blanc. A little rambunctious on its own, delicious with salad and chicken. Great value.

Easy going south African chenin which went well with sushis. Much mellower than the bone dry chenin from Loire I'm used to. No notes, evening out.
