Crisp and refreshing with bright flavors of Granny Smith apple, white peach and sweet citrus. Round in the mouth but balanced by brisk acidity. Drink now.——L.B.(8/1/2011)—— 85

Outside the U.S., this wine is normally found as Chenin Blanc, and it seems sad that the U.S. importer wanted to revert to the old South African name for the varietal. It is particularly a shame because this is a good value wine, with ripeness, softness and plenty of acidity to go with the pear fruit flavors.

Ripe fruit and bubblegum hints open this clean, angular white. Quickly turns much less sweet than expected, its ample melon and tropical fruit supported by brisk acidity. A refreshing value Chenin Blanc (Steen in South Africa) that closes very clean, surprisingly long.——M.M.(4/1/2005)—— 85

This is a simple, easygoing wine with hallmark aromas and flavors of citrus and fresh herbs. The notes of durum and meat juices are especially interesting. —K.F. ——K.F.(4/1/2003)—— 85
