Tasting - The Royal Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2012

Name: The Royal Old Vines Chenin Blanc 2012
Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: "One of the greatest buys I have tasted this year is this under $10, 100% Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape. A super flower-scented nose includes notions of ripe honeydew melons and pears. This medium weight, fresh, fruity crisp, dry, textbook Chenin Blanc will provide immense pleasure over the next 12 months." - 90

My Review:  This wine definitely had a floral scent as well as hints of green apple in the smell. Despite being a 13% wine, it felt thin and light and did not have a very acidic aftertaste. Overall, a light and somewhat fruity wine.

I did not have food with this wine.
