Shop Review: "The 2015 Chenin Blanc offers loads of melony fruit interspersed with hints of honeysuckle and peach. It is delicious, crisp, fresh, lively, and a dead ringer for a good Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Drink it over the next year."
My Review: This is a grape South Africa has grown for over 400 years. This wine was similar to the Barão de Figueira Vinho Branco, but slightly more bitter and less acidic. Dare I say, maybe even the slightest bit flabby.
Tasted without food.
