Natalie's Score: 89/100

Vibrant South African white wine made from the country's aromatic and iconic Chenin Blanc grape, called Steen in the country. From the Coastal Region Wine Region, Man Free-Run Steen 2017 is fantastic value under $20. Look for baked pear, honeyed tropical and stonefruit flavours on the palate. Nice balance of fruit to acidity. Man Vintners was founded in 2001 among three friends and their wives. To keep the peace, so the back label says, they named it for the first names of their wives: Marie, Anette and Nicky. Man Vintners was founded in 2001 among three friends and their wives.

From the Coastal Region Wine Region, Man Free-Run Steen 2017 is fantastic value under $20. This is a vibrant Chenin Blanc produced from the most flavourful and delicate free-run juice. Look for baked pear, honeyed tropical and stonefruit flavours on the palate. Nice balance of fruit to acidity. Man Vintners was founded in 2001 among three friends and their wives. To keep the peace, so the back label says, they named it for the first names of their wives: Marie, Anette and Nicky. - Community Wine Reviews
