Pale green gold. Nose is brisk green grapes, spritz of salinity and seawater, weal lime zest and white flowers, very fine. Taut bracing brine and sea air hits your taste buds, rapier sharp but not over acidic. The acidity is there and very supportive not hitting you in the chops. Refined and linear - very good.

Very good bottle of Australian chenin. Fared best only slightly chilled and a long way off fridge cold. Pale lemon with medium-intensity aromatics. Packs most punch on the front -palate and is softer mid- and back-palate. the wine is less about the analysis of flavour elements (which fit in a typical Chenin spectrum...more South African than French) and more about the smooth waxy texture. Very enjoyable.

Australia Trade Tasting (Lindley Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls): Tighter than I remember, citrus, green fruit, palate is bigger but still in balance, very fresh

An inviting nose of green apple, honeysuckle and flint. Delicious fruit, good detail and tension. Enough flesh but not over-blown. Crisp and long.
