Winery Review: This is an unwooded Chenin Blanc. and is made from 48 year old vines in the Swartland wine growing region. This wine packs a deceptive punch. And that punch tastes of apples, pears, and quince, with an appealing herbal note that helps it pair well with salads and other light fare. Don't drink it too cold, or you might miss all the fruit.
My Review: Very tasty wine! Definitely has a good tannin structure. I was able to taste the richness of the wine through the fruity flavor but still enough punch to make it interesting. Thought there was a hint of banana in it which really set off the flavor as well. I tasted this on its own with no food and enjoyed it.
