Old Bushvine Chenin Blanc

A youthful green edge adds an instant brilliance that gracefully yields a pale golden core. Chenin lovers will enjoy how the aromas emerge strikingly: freshly sliced nectarine complemented by a touch of Malden salt, embroidered with finer nuances of quince, ripe orange, naartjie, grapefruit and blossoms evocative of these fruits. Ripe fruit, oak and lees contact imparts a creamy texture with an ever-present salinity. Herbal notes of fennel and lime leaves adds a savoury sheen for a delightful contrast. The acidity is refreshing, while the pithy texture moulds the wine's structure, like savouring lemon curd spread on toasted sourdough. The wine has a great length, elegant floral accents, and a persistent limy character, adding to the chalky dry finish.
