Nederburg 56 Hundred Western Cape Chenin Blanc 2012 89+ Points
Pale white with green reflections.
Clean, impressive purity of fruit, perfume, Granny Smith apples, green lime, custard apples, crunchy fennel, white pebbles mineral.
Dry with medium plus acidity, low plus alcohol, 12.5% abv, perfect!, juicy, crisp, salty tang, lemon zest, vibrant with lots of energy, persistent, long lenght, very very good Chenin, overdelivers on price point.
Without a doubt one of the discoveries of spring/summer, a must buy and enjoy anytime of the day with or without food, now until spring 2013.
