Details
- Varietal: Chenin Blanc
- Style: White
- Region: Western Cape, South Africa
-
Notes: An intriguing array of fruits - sliced November figs, ripe nectarine and
freshly-peeled satsumas. In the background is the hint of herbaceous
rosemary. The palate is round and fleshy, pushing forward ripe citrus
fruits like orange, nectarine again and a fresh core of green melon.
There is the hint of banana bread as well. - Producer: Cape Venture
