Tasting--The Royal

Name: The Royal

Variety: Chenin Blanc

Country: Western Cape, South Africa

Price: $8.95

Year:  2015

Winery Review: The 2015 Chenin Blanc offers loads of melony fruit interspersed with hints of honeysuckle and peach. It is delicious, crisp, fresh, lively, and a dead ringer for a good Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Drink it over the next year

Personal Review: The wine opened with a nice wet and soft green apple scent. In tasting it had a nice soft body, and about midway between sweet and dry. It had a the green apple flavor mixed with a peachy twinge. Little aftertaste and acidity. It was quite refreshing and great for a light afternoon glass.
