Mason Road Chenin Blanc, Paarl, South Africa 2022
Hey you! Yes you! Like wine? Like tasty wine? South Africa is one of the world’s best exponents of Chenin Blanc and this is a great value example. It has a lovely nose of peach skin, apricot blossom, grapefruit pith, and some notes of baked patisserie and just a faint melted candle wax character. The palate medium-bodied with a slight waxy, dried honey entry with hints of pink grapefruit and lemongrass lending tension and vibrancy towards the zesty finish. 13.5% alc. Drink now – 2027.

JancisRobinson.com: “Such a pretty nose! Buttery pastry, gorse flowers and orange honey. Lots of orange citrus. The fruit is forward and generous, but the acidity is lustrous. Good Value. (TC) 13.5%. Drink now-2027.“ 16.5 points
