Apr 3rd, 2022Ripe, 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.
