13.5% - Clear, med lemon / clean, pronounced intensity - lemon peel, wax, ginger, floral, almonds / dry, med+ crisp acidity, med body, pronounced intensity, long finish...in fact no, a very long lingering finish with all the flavours carrying on. This is absolutely stunning.

2014 Sadie Family Chenin Blanc Skurfberg South Africa, Olifants River, Citrusdal
95 points
13.5% - Clear, med- lemon / clean, med+ intensity - lemon zest, honey, wax, orange blossom, nutty / dry, med+ acidity, med unctuous body, med intensity, persistent length. A perfectly balanced wine, with a creamy texture with the flavours unfolding on a silk ribbon. This could give a serious run to pretty much any Loire Chenin Blanc producer.
