Wildekrans Estate Bot River Chenin Blanc 2011 85 Points
Clear, bright, pale straw with slight green reflections.
Clean, moderate intensity, subtle red apples, lime and green pineapples, mineral core, hints of clay/granite, subtle, excellent purity of fruit.
Dry, delicate mineral note, hints of salty tang, medium plus acidity, crunchy delicate red fruits follows through, near perfect alcohol of 12.5% abv, juicy and airy, flavorful, fresh and lively, yet shows perfect restraint, unshowy tipple to be enjoy over grilled white fish, sesame chicken salad, now until 2016.
