  I just really like South African CBs. While this was a little light on body and rough on the finish it is a lot better than most wines this price I have drank. Don't be afraid to break this one out for company, they will probably think it is a more expensive wine and will probably like it.

  The earthiness really comes through in this wine. Hints of apple and pear with a touch of acidity. Good for the price but would spend a few dollars more for something with more structure.

  Nice wine and very above others from the price range especially when you consider it´s complexity. I was expecting a little more since its a 90 points for WA but still finds its way not to be just a fruity white wine and brings a mineral touch and some layers. Should try of you manage to find it.

  Nice, crisp, decent acid though I'd like more, classic chenin tropical fruit profile with a hint of green, just barely off dry. Works.
