Tasting- The Royal

Name: The Royal 

Variety: Old Vines Steen Chenin Blanc

Region, Country: Western Cape, South Africa

Year: 2015

Price: 8.95

Wine Review: 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.

Personal Review: This wine has aromas of honey and apricots. This wine was much stronger on the palette than the Barao. There was also a strong taste in the throat. This wine kind of tasted like sour dough bread. I did not try this with food.
