Chenin Blanc is the classic white grape of South Africa, and the country still has over 40,000 acres planted to the grape (although that has declined some in the last couple of decades. South Africa produces some lovely Chenin, and this is a great example at a very fair price. Simonsig's is not terribly dramatic in the nose (typical of Chenin), but it's fresh, zesty, and bright with subtle asian pear and citrus flavors. It would make a great match with raw oysters or ceviche. Imported by Quintessential. (90 Points)
