Raats Family Original Chenin Blanc Unwooded 2014

Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South AfricaTight and pithy lemon, white grapefruit and yellow apple overlay a bed of broken stones in this chenin blanc, grown on decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. Vines average 35 years old, with both bush vines and dry farmed fruit in the mix. This spends six months on the lees in stainless, preserving the bright, crisp fruit. Medicinal white cherry and pineapple rind echoes on the zesty finish. Keen, youthful and ready to drink now.Tasted: 14 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:
