RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Exotic, offering a wide range of star anise, pineapple, green almond, green fig and yellow apple notes, carried by a racy quinine accent that's deeply buried on the finish. A whiff of honeysuckle completes the seduction.

94Stephen Tanzer

Sexy perfume of peach, orange blossom, flowers, nutmeg and nut oil, plus a suggestion of redcurrant. Wonderfully broad, fine-grained and concentrated yet light on its feet, displaying superb richness and depth but no impression of weightiness...fine finish goes on and on.

93The Wine Advocate

...attractive aromas of lanolin, nutmeg, nectarine and peach skin, well defined and gaining intensity all the time with aeration...medium-bodied with crisp acidity, smoked walnut, bitter lemon and a pinch of white pepper, developing more and more intensity with time. This is sublime.

TYPE

White Wine, Chenin Blanc

This light-bodied white wine grape has zest and versatility depending on its style. It is grown extensively in South Africa, where wineries produce dry wines. Traditional French Chenin Blancs are sweet. It is closest to Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.
