Beginning with a pale lemon color, the 2018 Single Block Chenin Blanc opens with a broad and expressive nose, overflowing with aromas of spicy lemon curd, lemon pastry cream, yellow apples and elements of toasted almonds and pineapple husk. Medium-bodied, the wine is rich and textured with a delightfully balanced, broad mouthfeel. Succulent acidity with complex expressions unfolds with a hint of phenolic bitterness across the mid-palate. The wine concludes with a long, lingering finish that continues to unpack its mineral and citrus-laced secrets. This is delicious and captures the elegance and richness of South African Chenin Blanc. Don't let the screw cap sway you away from this bottle and the sincerity of its expression.
