What We Say
A lovely, mineral Chenin Blanc from the Atlantic-influenced vineyards, with more freshness and vibrancy than you would expect. Stone fruits and citrus balanced with well-integrated oak spice and a smooth finish.
What They Say
The nose has a beautifully enticing lemon-lime zest, that is so characteristic of Chenin Blanc from the Banghoek, with some overripe naartjie and hints of floral tones, like lilies. The pallet possesses a refreshing acidity, with hints of fennel, brioche and vanilla, ending in a long, luscious finish.
