Sultry Chenin Blanc

Frisky Zebras NV Sultry Chenin Blanc

87 Points

Vanilla, red apple, flint, pear and some light spice notes show well on the nose. While the apple and pear also come through on the palate — as do some light melon and mineral notes — there's a slightly bitter, almost salty edge to this chenin blanc.
