Nose: Notes of green fig and ripe peaches, typical nuanced Chenin blanc stone fruit aromas, like apricot, pear and pineapple abound on the nose. The underlying flint and finely spiced earthiness underpins the sweetness and presents the first offering, an extremely inviting one.
Palate: On the palate it all comes to the fore, but with the real undertaking of finesse and balance being the most critical one. This vintage was very forthright in its expression of freshness, with it leaning more towards a natural acidic balance without compensating fruit allure. A really good fit!
