Casey @ Travelling Corkscrew

We have so much Chenin in our hose right now, it’s great 👍

This beauty is a sample from Good Pair Days (thank you!). This Jemma 2017 Chenin Blanc is made by Painted Wolf in Paarl, South Africa. Painted Wolf was set up by winemaker Jeremy and his wife Emma in 2007 as a small-scale experiment for when they weren’t helping to protect and champion the South African wild dog 🐕.

If you’re keen to try this Chenin and the Good Pair Days experience, make sure to use the code “travellingcorkscrew” for a discount at the checkout.

So did we enjoy the wine?

Thoroughly! Here’s our notes:

It’s a yellow gold colour in the glass. Melon, citrus zest and salt rise from the glass. While in the mouth it’s full of juicy apples and it has a hint of Manuka honey 🍯. Delicious!

This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

I thought is was a nice crisp citrus with good body and acidity. It actually held up well with a pork chop and sauerkraut.

One of my favorite whites to date. Buttery notes, with a crisp fruit taste.
