Alexanderfontein Coastal Region Chenin Blanc 2010 81 Points

Alexanderfontein Coastal Region Chenin Blanc 2010 81 Points


Clear, day bright, pale straw with slight green reflections, medium concentration, medium minus viscosity, no gas.

Clean, medium plus intensity, green limes, apples, hay, just ripe white peach, white earthy / pebbles minerality, no wood, complex stony profile, unsual for a Cape Chenin.

Dry, medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, new delicate flavours of lime, greengage, delicate talc note, low plus finish, low plus complexity, palate structure dod not lived up to very exciting nose, slight leesy farewell.

Served at 8 degrees celsius will make a good aperitif for casual enjoyment at home or around a BBQ, now until 2014.
