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: When
I first smelt the white wine, I thought it was floral and fruity. I tasted a slight floral, but not as
strong as I imagined it would be.
Overall the wine was refreshing, and not very acidic. It did not have anything special
flavors, and would describe it as a generic white wine you could casually drink
with friends. I did not taste this
wine with food.
