Lovely straw colour. The nose shows typical beeswax, and a mix of dried peach, citrus, ripe lemon, honey and pawpaw flavours. Good weight, balance and some minerality on the palate. The wonderful mouthfeel that typifies ripe Chenin has already started to develop, will increase in the next 12 – 24 months.
