Graham Beck Bowed Head Chenin Blanc 2010, Wo Paarl, South Africa




This wine is a blend of 100% Chenin Blanc, from low yielding old bush vines (41-47 years old), after barrel fermentation the wine was matured in French oak for eight months (combination of 1st to 3rd fill) and alcohol comes in at 13.5%.

This wine is a bright yellow gold and opened up with aromas of pineapple, peach, caramel, honey and hints of spices. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied with a creamy and slightly sweet and ripe flavours of tropical fruit with a honeyed textured and crisp acidity. This Chenin Blanc finish is long with a mouth coating sweetness and a citrus refreshing ending. Very enjoyable, score 89 points.
