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.
