Monthly Tasting Group HWS #112; South Africa (@ RvD): In the bouquet fresh white fruits with a touch of sweetness as well. On the palate tropical white fruits, a bit creamy, beautiful fresh acidity, some pleasant sweetness and bitterness. Good length. A really pleasant wine.

High intensity nose shows strong aromatics, grapefruit, jalapeno, lemongrass, lime peel. Palate matches, nice fruit, overt style in the New Zealand manner, acidity medium plus. Nice value.

The nose is quite subtle with a little stone fruit. Much different in style to the Fable alongside it; this is much more of a floral, wooly, lanolin filled Chenin. There’s a bit of a honeyed note to the back of the palate and a really crisp green apple finish. Very enjoyable.
