RATINGS

92Stephen Tanzer

...captivating lift to its soft citrus, spice and white pepper aromas. Then richer and fruitier in the mouth, with stone fruits dominating. The light element of peppery herbs energizes the middle palate and gives the wine excellent definition. Ultimately less plush than the Granite but the rising, spicy finish perks up the palate and lingers impressively.

92Wine Enthusiast

...notes of roasted apple skin, orange oil, pressed yellow flowers, juicy pear and even a hint of fresh guava. The palate is full and opulent, though deftly balanced by vibrant acidity and a lingering flavor of spiced-pear tart.

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.
