Bec Hardy Chip off the Old Block Chenin Blanc 2022

Definitely not the latest hot thing, Chenin Blanc is a traditional variety which can age for a great many years and makes everything from luscious sweet wines to fine, bone-dry styles. Chenin is a most underrated and unappreciated wine and it is great to see it being given some love here, especially at such a bargain price. A gleaming pale yellow hue, this is a creamy, fleshy style with hints of tropical notes, florals and dry herbs. A seductive texture and fine line of acidity is held by decent length and an intensity maintained throughout. Drink any time over the next five to six years, but it is full of appealing flavours now.
