Tasting - Fairhills Cape Original Chenin Blanc – Grenache Blanc

Name: Fairhills Cape Original Chenin Blanc – Grenache Blanc
Variety: 95% Chenin Blanc and 5% Grenache Blanc
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2017
Price: $7

Winery Review: This wine has upfront citrus and tropical fruit flavours on the nose. Full juicy palate and minerality with racy citrus lime freshness. Balanced acidity with concentrated flavours that lingers. Good for Alfresco lunches.

My Review: The nose has a floral note to it with apple, orchid, and slight honey hints. On the palate, there is apple and slight butter. The fruit and flavors of this wine are quite subtle but overall it works. It has a nice body and mouthfeel with a long finish.
