Tasting - The Royal

Name: The Royal
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Vintage: 2015
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: As the unofficial drink of the Riebeek Valley, Chenin Blanc is the perfect every day wine that offers uncomplicated quality for the novice and connoisseur alike. Packed with upfront melon fruit, the nose charms with an abundance of guava and gooseberries as well as the signature hint of honey. The palate follows through with fruit flavors balanced by a crisp acid to ensure a fresh and fruity style of wine.

My Review: The wine is light bodied, and has aromas of honey suckle. The wine is gentle, and pleasing to the palate. The wine has some slight floral background, matched with some spiciness.

I did not consume any food with this wine.
