Golden apple, mandarin peel, white flowers, and honey. Pretty simple, but really lovely. Perfect combo of sugar and acid

Apples, quince, and honey. Fresh yet full. Chenin at its best.

Many previous 375ml were showing a lot of vinousity. This bottle was delightful and an excellent foil for a vege based dinner with beets.

Ripe, sweet pear & white peach, with hint of flint & whiff of white flowers.
On the palate this is broad & rich yet with layers of yellow fruit, a dab of honey and a mineral side - and nicely balanced with quince acidity.
Shows a bit of heat in the finish but overall this is a very nice & food-friendly wine.
Shame it’s so difficult to find good dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire outside of France.

A bit one-dimensional and linear but thoroughly enjoyable. Ripe peaches and blanched almonds. Clean and nicely balanced with a mineral accent toward the finish.

Har förvisso druckit godare chenins från Loire men en fin försommardag som denna kan man inte klaga på frukterna i denna. Småpartierna. Panache.
