Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Costal Region
Country: South Africa
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Winery review:90 Points – Robert Parker
"One of the greatest buys I have tasted this year is
this under $10, 100% Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape. A super
flowery-scented nose includes notions of ripe honeydew melons and pears. This
medium-weight, fresh, fruity, crisp, dry, textbook Chenin Blanc will provide
immense pleasure over the next 12 months."
My review: The nose was sweet with hints of orange and other citrus fruits. It had a light body with a melon mid pallet. The finish was very soft and enjoyable. I really enjoyed this wine. I tasted it with no food.
