greenish and clear. pear, apples chamomile, hay and honeydew melon. Dry on the palate medium body with sour apples, lemon and dusty gravel minerality. Long finish.

Giant Wine Sale & Tasting 8/5/2017 (Cellar on Greene, Columbia, SC): As complete and tasty as a Chenin Blanc can be. For some reason the South African terroir combined with the intuition and skill of the grape growers and wine makers result in a Chenin Blanc aroma and flavor profile unequaled anywhere else. To my palate this 2016 Raats is close to doing it all. There is a honey and citrus nose. The palate has an oily, mineral enhancement to the peach and citrus fruit. Just more than medium bodied but full of fruit and secondary flavors. The superb finish has just the correct combination of fruit, acid and secondary stuff, so we give it 90. Good job.
