Phil's impromptu tasting fun (Phil's place, Putney, Sydney): From Coravin. A little almond meal joins orange and lemon, touch of sweet spice, creamy notes, slightly animal underpin. Juicy, rich, mouthwatering acidity but not sour, generous citrus fruit shows a little orange as well as the lemon, lng, integrated grip, nice. Non intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish.

Cheninesque with with aromas of green apples, peach, lemon, lime, camphor and slight pear. Well-balanced, though a smidge high in alcohol, but I know the next vintage is 0,6% lower. Impressive quality of fruit from my fav ZA winemaker.

Un très beau chenin avec un bel équilibre qui se laisse boire en jeune âge pendant que l'on attend les carthology. Le nez et la bouche sont dans les fruits blancs.

Whether it be young vines or old vines Chenin Blanc, the Alheits do it great justice... On nose : the purity of green pear, light florals and and a ghost of warm stone. On palate: all above flavour notes amplified, in addition to herbal notes of tarragon , lemon zest displayed on bright acidity within a medium body of great balance. Can expand and age well....a good foil for roast chicken , basmati rice and green beans tonight.

Really expressive nose of green apple with some stone minerals , similar palate which is fresh, vibrant and decadent persistence
