Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc (Steen) Stellenbosch 2006

Platinum.

Lemon/lime flesh, vibrant, slight herb and toasted nut aromas. Reminds me of Aussie Riesling.

Vibrant in the mouth too, with a fruit sweetness that may be a result of well-judged RS. Acidity keeps everything in bounds effortlessly, even a bit of mineral action. This is a wonderful wine - flavors remind me a bit of (drier) Austrian whites.


Great summer wine, and stupidly cheap.

$12
