Tasting: Chenin Blanc

Tasting Feb 2, Vintage Cellar




Royal
Chenin Blanc: 2009
White/$4.95
South Africa


Store Review: 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 out on all the fruit.

My Review: With a very citrusy smell, the tangy fruit flavors of this wine are enhanced by a strong sniff before tasting. I mainly tasted orange but with an overall tangy sweetness.
