Moist wool, pear, lemon and yellow florals on the nose. Tart lemon lime juice, ripe pear, pineapple juice, green apple, wet granite. vibrant acidity, soft, round texture and a pithy character. The wine is fresh with wet sandy mineral finish.

Exotic nose of ripe fruit and flowers. Rich, but with great zesty acidity.

Fresh linen and dried Meyer lemon aromatics. Meyer lemons combine with green apple skins and steely minerals in the finish. This is a bargain for a Chenin Bland grown on bush vines in Swartland. This husband and wife make tasty juice.

Medium pale yellow. A bit mute, a touch tropical with some hay too. Moderate acidity (5/10) and light to medium bodied. Shortish finish with a bit of savory and light white fruits. Drink till 2019.

A bit too round and lacking in acidity. Fairly ripe with tropical notes. Standard Chenin waxiness, but I wouldn't have been able to pick varietal blind.
