For consistency, quality and a cheap thrill, this scrumptious little Chenin will do the trick. Dried linden blossom, white guava, warm river stones and green melon. It’s a savoury little unit, with plenty of salt, and a reckless spine of acidity that doesn’t quit. In the mouth, yellow grapefruit pith, apple, star fruit and, again, minerality. Think liquid crystals and wet stones. In its totality the wine has clean lines that lead you into a sustained length. Drink with pipi pasta or salt and pepper squid.
