Bellingham The Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2010
Coastal Region, South AfricaThis is my second encounter with this delicious chenin made form old, dry farmed, low yielding bush vines and aged in 50% new French oak. The nose is bright and stylish with rich pear, honey, green apple notes and floral undertones. The attack is crisp but the French oak kicks in mid-palate along with vanilla, butter and baked green apple flavours flecked with honey and orange notes. Best served well chilled with spicy Asian dishes.Tasted: 05 September 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Grady Wines |
