Estimate
Fresh fynbos, Asian pear, ginger root, green melon and fig tones form the nose of this lovely wine, with pretty honeysuckle, orange blossom and beeswax accents all dancing in the background. The medium-weight palate boasts some opulence and roundness in the ripe, sweet citrus, melon and fig tones, but it's masterfully balanced by superbly bright and laser-focused acidity. Balanced and harmonious, with a long finish....
...offers attractive orange peel, dried honey and white chocolate scents that open with aeration, and the prudent use of oak is welcome. The palate is well balanced with fine weight; touches of orange pith and nectarine lace together toward the quite refined and persistent finish.
...classic acid line through the center of the palate like the rest of the Chenin Blanc in the range, but the expression is fuller on the nose and palate. This has a bright citrus core with weighty tropical fruit tones of fresh pineapple blossoms that fill the nose and flood the palate. There is also precision and mineral tension on its broad mid-palate... It has a structured balance with a long finish.
The dried fruits come through clearly with sliced pineapples and pears. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. A delicious finish.
Restrained nose, delicate palate with honey and starfruit on the palate giving classic Chenin character, and a dry, mouth-watering finish. Classic and satisfying, with great woolly texture.
