Winery Review: Pale green-gold color with aromas of Granny Smith apples with a hint of minerality. Refreshing demi-sec style with great fruit and intense, lively acidity.
Pairs well with all fish dishes, especially those with cream or mushroom sauces, chicken, veal or pork. Also lovely with salads or on its own as an aperitif. - Taub Family Selections
Wine Folly: pg 98 "Chenin Blanc" - This wine was on the dryer side of the characteristics listed in the book. Of the notes listed, pear and apple were the ones I noticed most.
Personal Review: I noticed a floral component that perhaps aligns with the honey note listed in the book, although I would better describe it as honeysuckle. Very floral and somewhat sweet but not overly so. Pear was the second thing I noticed and there is plenty of it. Salinity on the finish is a bit of a surprise with the beginning notes I tasted being mostly sweet and fruity. Not unpleasant. 3.8/5
