Tasting - Pieter Cruythoff Chenin Blanc 2015

NamePieter Cruythoff Chenin Blanc
Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $9 (Sale for $4.95)

Winery Review: "A wonderful nose of bananas, oranges and melons jumps from the glass of this 100% Chenin Blanc, which is finished with a screw cap. Another great value from South Africa, this wine is medium-bodied, fresh, lively, and a terrific dry white to drink over the next year."

My Review: A sweet nose of fruit leaning more towards a mix of softer tree fruits than anything else, though I cannot pinpoint a distinct flavor in the aroma. In the mouth, the aromas are backed up with substance in this sweet, medium-bodied white.  Mix it in your mouth with a bit of air and you will feel a bite that lingers not dissimilar to that left by sucking on a lemon wedge.

Tasted without food.
