Tasting: Royal Chenin Blanc


Chenin Blanc: Far Left



Name: Royal Chenin Blanc
Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2010
Price: $4.95

Winery 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: This wine smells of citrus. It tastes of pear, but has a very odd tang after taste. After warming the wine a little, it has a strong citrus taste.
