Sooooo good. Unique. Light. Notably fruity finish, but in an interesting way. (My bottle is the 2019.) — 5 years ago

Beautiful golden color, floral-perfume-y on the nose. Zingy apricot, tangerine and rose in the mouth. Really complex with a long, thought-provoking finish. Exactly the kind of wine drinking experience I always want to have! — 5 years ago

Luscious, lemony and tart...but definitely has a strong hint of that metallic melon flavor characteristic of a New Zealand sauv blanc, which was unexpected. — 7 years ago

A repeat purchase — this wine is an exceptional value, offering a ton of complexity for under $20. I had to research a bit to find that Malvasia is the grape, and Salina is the tiny Italian Island off Sicily it comes from. This wine tastes like salty ocean and makes you imagine being there. A favorite. (Purchased and repurchased many times at Amaro Spirits & Wine in Park Slope, Brooklyn.) — 5 years ago

I could tell it was special coming out of the bottle - beautiful, deep terra cotta red. A tiny bit smokey and spicy on the nose but sooooo delicate in the mouth. AfterBURSTS with strawberry jam. Exquisite. — 7 years ago

This wine was so special. I know chenin blanc is a bit of a risk, but I had it in mind to pair with salty Chinese food, and found this VERY price-friendly organic bottle at my favorite wine store. It had none of the overt fruitiness or oiliness that sometimes comes with CB; rather, I think it was the perfect combo of the yellow apple richness of traditional CBs expressed in a very lean, dry, tart, wildly acidic sipper with just a hint of ginger spiciness. If you’ve read this far you can see I really loved this wine. 💛 — 5 years ago
