Seriously Cool Chenin

What to expect
A bright, vibrant style of Chenin with aromas of citrus, white flowers and a hint of honey. Ripe and full flavoured with a rounded mouthfeel thanks to long fermentation and extended lees contact. Nice concentration of stone fruit characters with hints of dried apricot and mango. Good balancing acidity on the clean, fresh finish.

The region
Stellenbosch, South Africa. This pins the region, not the estate. We do not hold a precise vineyard address for this wine, so we are not showing you one.
