Clear deep gold. Strong oxidative nose, green apple, slightly nutty. Not totally turned, but has that sherry essence. Apple, lime, grapefruit, but still with a backbone of acidity. Ei not a particular fan. Day 2 update, oxidation pronounced. Simple, green apple. Acidity mellowed and oxidation pronounced, unpleasant. Did not finish.

After loving our first bottle just 3 weeks ago, I found this chenin to be on the verge of showing its age. A faint hint of oxidation that I did not detect in other bottle. Bottle variation? Nonetheless lip smacking chrystaline clarity poured through and assured an overall pleasant drinking experience. But I would not hold these much longer

Light floral, citrus and apple nose, tart apple and lemon on the high acid palate. Medium length propelled by the acid. Made for food. Tasty.
