Bella Ridge Estate Chenin Blanc 2014

These chenins are always released with a bit of age on them, showing just how good the variety can be when allowed to develop with some extra time in bottle. It’s creamy and chock full of tropical fruit, but now there is a subtle toasty development. At the same time that varietal acidity keeps it fresh. A gentle touch of oak completes an always interesting wine.
