Varietal: Chenin Blanc
Wine: Chenin Blanc Petit
Label: Ken Forrester
Region: Stellenbosch, South Africa
Year: 2009
Date Tasted: October 2010
Notes: This bright and crisp dry white is slightly light of medium in body, with a mellow middle and a finish which could nearly be called bubbly. Although a relatively recent wine, this did not have a young alcohol taste, as the fresh notes accented well the flavorings and the finish. I noted tastes of apricot, almond, and apple.
This wine seems particularly suited to the fall, and could be used nearly anywhere a cider could. We had this wine with a seafood alfredo, where it did well, but did not seem to need to limit itself to such company. Although this is not the least expensive wine out there, the sprightliness of this wine experience makes it worth raising a glass when you could use a note of fun.
