Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa

Year: 2012

Price: $7.95

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: This Chenin Blanc had a floral scent to it which was reminiscent of a pear. The flavor was crisp and I could really feel the acidity on my tongue. I enjoyed the wine, although I am not too big on white wines. I was a fan of the crispy/acidic flavor of this wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
