100% Chenin Blanc. Light nose and racy and absolutely bullseye exciting tense Chenin. Finger on the pulse of international winemaking fashion here. Clean and fresh. VGV (JR)

The 2011 Chenin Blanc Reserve spent nine months ageing on its fine lees in French oak. It displays fine focus and poise on the nose with an herbaceous undercurrent that adds another dimension. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. There are light citrus notes and a touch of orange peel, although I was looking for more complexity and depth towards the finish. Drink now-2015.
