Reviewed September 2015Easy and mouthfilling. Tangy and definitely Chenin. A great introduction to New Wave South African wine!

The 2015 Secateurs Chenin Blanc has a slightly waxy, toffee apple-scented bouquet that perhaps lacks the complexity of some of the other vintages that I have tasted in the past. The palate is nicely balanced, quite primal in the mouth at first but settling down later on with lime cordial and peachy notes that deliver plenty of flavor. (NM)

Fantastic rich texture and body. Amazing how much textural power this wine delivers at such a value price point (without relying on oak). Flavors of yellow plum, apricot, golden pear, toasted honeyed grains, a nice lees note brings some savory flavor back in. Phenomenally easy to drink…no really…

The first striking thing that comes to mind for this wine is the bright acidity. Peach and stone fruit flavors with that long finish of solid acidity. Delicious and not sweet. Will pair well with Thai food.
