Winery Review

90 Points – Robert Parker

"One of the greatest buys I have tasted this year is this under $10, 100% Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape. A super flowery-scented nose includes notions of ripe honeydew melons and pears. This medium-weight, fresh, fruity, crisp, dry, textbook Chenin Blanc will provide immense pleasure over the next 12 months."

My Review

• The wine had a very light yellow color
• The wine smelled incredibly flowery and light, with fruity undertones of melon
• The wine tasted very crisp, fruity, fresh, of apples, of pears
• Overall I really enjoyed this wine to the point I purchased a bottle after the tasting! 

I did not pair this wine with food.
