Would love to revisit in a few years. Ripe to bakes yellow apple, some pastry notes, light baking spices, a little honeysuckle. 🇿🇦

An off-dry Chenin, light gold colour with high acidity. I’m getting nectarine, honey and lemon meringue on the nose the palate has hints of pineapple, passion fruit and tart lemon curd with a long lasting finish. This is a food wine and demands a nice semi-hard cheese like Comte or Gouda.

Very balanced. Fresh, crisp but weighty. Very subtle effervescence.
