"A delicious, fresh, gourmet 100% Chenin Blanc!"
"Subtle aromas of honey, crisp apple and pleasant honeysuckle mingle with notes of wet slate and wool on the nose of this old-vine blend. The palate is wrapped in a solid framework, offering delicate flavors of apple blossom and pear flesh, supported by vibrant, thirst-quenching acidity." (Wine Enthusiast 2024) - Screw cap
