90/100 45

Intriguing wine with honey, spice and root ginger flavours. Quite sweet but beautifully balanced by firm acidity. Very long. The varietal flavours of Chenin Blanc still occupy centre-stage. An intirguing and attractive wine.

Tasted: Jan 2007   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $36 (~USD $30)
