Bought for wife. She loved it ! Score one for the home team. Crisp and light, loads of fruit up front with a typical Chenin sweetness in the background. Actually almost as good as some Loire Vovurays. Solid bottle for the money.

This light-bodied, straw-colored wine is an excellent value for what we paid, but (in our case) the price was 65% off of the normal price so your mileage may vary. Nose of lemon, and pineapple. On the palate, lychee, pineapple, and lemon. The wine finishes short. Great summer wine both light and refreshing, won't stand up to meals of heavier fare (anything that's not chicken breast or whitefish).

Pretty pale color. Nose is mango, pineapple, apple, and lemon.
Dominated by the pineapple, this is a very high acid wine. Lots of lemon, a little mango too. On it's own, it's a little acidic, but with food, it settles down nicely. Am I going to run out and buy more? Probably not, but if I were having 50 people over for banquet chicken, this would work just fine. OK.

Agree with Mike Kopanski review. Lemon/lime, pear, apple, guava, loads and loads of fruit with nice acidity and a longer finish that one would expect in a $7.99 wine. Buy by the case.

The South African's have really made their mark with this varietal. In a different way, this wine is just as complex, nuanced, and interesting as anything from the Loire Valley, or anywhere else Chenin Blanc excels. The terroir, grape growing and winemaking, combine to express a mineral laced, spicy wine that flirts with the 90 point glass ceiling.The harmonious flavors and aromas dance across the senses with a focused, mineral influenced sense of purpose that few white wines accomplish. The fruit components of meyer lemon, lime, green apple, nectarine and honeysuckle meld into a mouth full of fruity deliciousness. Just enough crisp, palate cleansing acidity. Some orchard fruit with big lime and honey on the finish.

Nice citrus and pear on the nose and palate. Crisp, with nice acidity. We were pleasantly surprised. Good qpr.
