Pineapple upside-down cake, mango, sweet honey, a bit of banana, and sweet toasted vanilla on the nose. Arrives sweet on the palate with more pineapple cake, mango, and honey. Nice acidity. Overall a quite pleasing wine. I am interested in trying out pairings with food, especially foods that might provide a contrast to the sweetness on the finish a bit, which is juuust a tad too sweet for me, which is really my only big complaint with this wine. First time ever having a 100% chenin blanc, and I'm interested to try more to see how they compare to this.
