Tasting-"The Royal Old Vines Steen Chenin Blanc 2015"

Name: The Royal Old Vines Steen Chenin Blanc 2015
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Prices: $8.95

Winery Review: 87 Points – Robert Parker
"The 2015 Chenin Blanc offers loads of melony fruit interspersed with hints of honeysuckle and peach. It is delicious, crisp, fresh, lively, and a dead ringer for a good Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Drink it over the next year."


My Review: This wine smelled of mangoes and caramel.  The wine was very acidic, with citrus components, with lime standing out.  The finish was very acidic and crisp.  I believe this wine would go very well with cheese to smooth out the acidic touch.
