Fat, round, delicious and well-made. All the hallmarks up front with that classic Chenin rubber tire and cheesiness in back. Spot on.

Gingered honeyed pears over minerals and a hint of celery. Needs a tad more acidity, but this is a delicious wine

Great classic Chenin flavors. Fruits didn't come through as much as I'd like though.

Handford's recommended white. Honeyed pear / ginger and citrus fruit complemented with firm minerality. Elegant and delicate.
