  14.0% abv. Yellow gold color. Decent acidity, showing signs of softening, stone fruit, Marcona almonds, baked lemon, white jasmine flowers. Shows CB typicity for most part.
  Imported by Betz family from South Africa.

  For my tastes this isn't Chenin Blanc any more. It's turned into a modern, oaked white that is nicely made and interesting but really not my style. I much prefer un-oaked Chenin Blanc with lots of fruit, acid and minerality.
