Very pale straw hue with aromas of gentle lime, vanilla, and green apple.
Palate--Off dry, with fruity core and creamy beams of vanilla bean, lime, citrus and a peppy finish that lingers.
I grabbed this at a local wine shop for $14. I have not had a Chenin Blanc in ages and now I wonder why not. I LOVE Chenin Blanc! This is a South African version which they do very well.
Chenin Blanc had a metamorphosis about 20 years ago going from a crappy, cloying jug wine to an admirable white wine pairing well with lobster, seafood, some white cheesy pastas, and even some Asian fare. Give it a shot and raise a glass!
