It’s the aroma of subtle spices, rain drops on hot stones and creamy stonefruit which seduces you from the get go.  Yet don’t be lulled into thinking it’s going to be sweet because there’s a solid seam of acidity which slices across the palate like a samurai sword.  The freshness and purity on show in this dry-ish chenin, put it in the ‘must sip’ category.  Gorgeous.

Sip with: paper thin slivers of salty prosciutto
