From the fashionable, inland and dry-farmed Malmesbury, Swartland, home of both older vineyards and adventurous and least-interventionist winemakers comes this Bush Vine Chenin Blanc. With fragrant aromas of blossom, stone fruits, straw and apples. The alcohol is relatively strong considering the varietal (But again, it's SA). Premium price considering the country of origin. Round, almost creamy texture that retain certain crispness. #southafrica #cheninblanc #swartland #bushvines #dryfarmwines
