Shop 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." - Washington Post (June 2010)
My Review: I really enjoyed this wine. I could smell the light scent of pears. My first taste I noticed how crisp and fruity it was. The light sweetness made this almost refreshing. I liked this wine so much, that between my roommates and myself, we walked out of the Vintage Cellar with 3 bottles. At $4.95, this wine might be one of my new staples
I had it alone without food.
