The highly anticipated MMAD wines have finally burst onto the market and its hard to imagine a more excitable audience than myself for this Chenin Blanc. It wafts out of the glass with Poire William pear, glacé mustard fruits and wet sandstone. A delicate lily of the valley perfume is carried through with a real push of persistent natural acidity. A hint of salinity keeps the drinker looking for more. I’m impressed by the fineness of this wine and cannot wait to see how it will develop over time, it’s got all the framework for building.
