$9
A delicious example of dry Chenin Blanc. With currant aromas, and a full, fruity palate, this is big, rich and concentrated, with flavors of pears, white currants and a touch of mint to give it a lift. From the same winery as the Black Rock range, this is a fine wine. Imported by Vinnovative Imports.

This wine starts with a curvy nose of pineapple, apricot and melon, leading into a very pretty interplay of tropical melon and spice on the palate. Elegant with a cheerful overall character, this Chenin balances acid and fruit well, creating a rounded wine with a delicate edge. Overall, dependable and fun.

Pretty, balanced and elegant, this wine offers varietally correct aromas and flavors of citrus, melon and apple, all buoyed by a crisp minerality that offers lift. Also true to the style, there’s a round sweetness here that gives the wine an opulent edge. Pair with a chicken salad or seafood.
