Ridgeback Paarl Chenin Blanc 2012 90+ Points

Ridgeback Wines

Pale straw with slight green reflections, some co2.

Clean, highly expressive, leesy character, ripe citrus, green orange, red apples, ripe peaches, stony minerals, lemon curd, hints of jasmin, fleur d'oranger notes, could there possibly be some Viognier added to lift the aromatics? spicy oak, multi layered profile, captivating!

Dry with dash residual sugar, lending a fullness to the structure, very fresh and vibrant with high acidity giving lots of energy to a full bodied Chenin Blanc with high but integrated alcohol of 14% abv, juicy, creamy texture, crunchy lemon segment, very well made for a Paarl Chenin, long and persistent, this will be a cracker with your Christmas Turkey roast!, now until 2018+
