Ultra-lean, super mineral-driven, perfect ceviche wine.

Well a revisit to a different year, label and time says yes. Weighing heavier than 12% on palate but juicy big and ripe and yes it keeps on punching. Chewy Chenin.

Stinky, tasty, long finish, good acidity that continues to defy a pretty toasty appellation.

Continues to be a standout South African Chenin. One of my faves. Baked apple, marzipan, minerals with a hint of lemon.
