Bellingham The Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2008

Coastal Region, South AfricaMade from old, dry farmed, low yielding bush vines and matured in 50% new French oak. Big pear, grapefruit, vanilla, honey, green apple, floral, lees, spicy nose. Rich, round, fresh and elegant with crisp acidity but somewhat sweet but good textures. Vanilla, butter, creamy, baked green apple, orange, nutty, pear, honey and lime flavours. Very nice fruit and finesse but just a bit too sweet and oaky.Tasted: 19 October 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
