  June 18, 2020 - This is a good apple. Yellow fruits, and there is a little richness here from the Chenin but the acidity keeps everything in balance, even bright. Still, this is on the riper spectrum of Chenin, and is really about the fruit more than anything else. Then the texture. It's quite a value at $13-$15.

  May 14, 2020 - Fresh, cool mixed orchard fruits with flowers, honey, and subtle stony and saline mineral elements. The fruit is pretty, peachy, and delicious. Nice silkiness to the texture, lifted by decent acidity. It does come across as New World, but when Loire comparisons are put aside it is perfectly enjoyable for what it is, especially for the modest price.

  March 22, 2020 - Apple, kiwi, and faint banana on nose. Lemon pith, yellow apple, and slight mango over mild minerality, medium body, and balanced acid. Long finish with banana and lemon curd becoming prominent after 15 seconds. A good value for South African chenin blanc. I prefer Loire style.

  December 12, 2019 - Nez exubérant et original, bonbon anglais...
  Bouche fruité à l'excès, un peu artificiel, frais, tout de même bien équilibré.
