Quaffable Chenin blanc being enjoyed at the Calgary stampede wine garden. We weren’t expecting much - and it turns out it’s okay. Notes of Gooseberry and citrus.

This one seemed pleasant enough, but just didn't pop in terms of life for me. Some nice gooseberry aroma throughout, but again, it didn't feel alive.
