Old vine Chenin charm on show, bringing the kind of effortless confidence that sets this grape variety apart. Little wonder Chenin is taking off with consumers. Mid yellow. Archetypal varietal aromas of apple, pear, peach meet a thread of grass, herbs, almond biscotti, hints of marzipan and stunning floral honeysuckle, citrus blossom. So smooth and warmly textural with a taste that is both generous but remains focused on a core of bright apple, pear and white peach slowly expanding, roaming wider into lemon curd, citrus peel, hints of green almond and honeyed notes. Great length and presence.
