Land of Hope Reserve Chenin Blanc 2022

This is a classic, robust and ripe South African chenin that pours fairly deep yellow. The nose is packed with melon, honey, linden and waxy notes – very complex. It is medium-full bodied, fleshy and rich with a hint of sweetness. Yet there is a mineral core and warmth that keeps the balance, along with some bitterness on the finish. The length is excellent. Tasted May 2024 Score – 91. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
