Name: Riebeek Cellar Chenin Blanc
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2014
Price: $10
Shop Review: Like any good Sauvignon
Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and
minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors
of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink
this with salads, shellfish and ceviche
My Review: To me, this wine seemed almost a bit watered down. It had a distinct smell of dried fruit, perhaps like dried pears or mangos. It was very acidic at taste, but with the watered down feel, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it.
I didn't try this with food, but perhaps it would make it better!
