"A very intense nose of sliced pear that takes a little time to reveal notes of lemon zest and flowers. This is a powerful dry Chenin Blanc that tends toward opulence, but whose almost sharp acidity keeps it tightly under control. Next comes complex spice and minerality in a bold and very clean finish." (James Suckling 2021)

About wine:

Elegantly understated on the nose with a striking minerality. The intensity is supported by a precise palate with stone fruit characteristics. Long, fresh, and complex finish.
