Clear yellow/green color with a nose of asian pear, apple and peach.

The wine is lively, thin and short.

This off-dry wine will pair well with and avocado and crab salad.

Serve it at 8-10 degrees.

This wine is ready to drink.

Jane LeFresne rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

An interesting nose on this wine. Aromas of apple, lemon, floral, hints of pear and melon.

Flavours of apple, asian pear and honey. Would pair well with pork dishes.

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Totally inviting nose! Tons of floral and ripe fruit characters: pink lady apples, pear, cantaloupe and hints of white pepper and ginger syrup. A little closure to the off-dry side of the spectrum, medium plus body and medium light acidity. Pair option: pork tenderloin medallions.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Ripe apricot and vanilla aromas. The taste follows and adds a touch of soft yellow apple. There's medium acidity with a soft, round mouth feel. This would pair well with a spicy pork dish.

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Green apple and pear aromas with a sweet baked apple flavor on the palate.

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Ripe Fuji Apple nose, honey suckle and pear
Juicy Apple palate, slightly earthy and funky finish

Pork and apples

Astrid Young rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Kosher Chenin? Why not. Classic lanolin and wet wool on the nose, showing some nice florals on the swirl. Medium bodied, and a bit fatter than you'd want your Chenin for the most part, but otherwise quite typical, with notes of almond extract and a tiny bit of residual. Acid comes and goes on the finish, showing some oxidative and overripe aspects on the back. Enjoy with roasted nuts and chips with salsa. A little bit of heat will lift the fruit nicely.

Donna Hargrove rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Pale yellow in colour, with aromas of green apple and tree fruit. An unexpected sweet finish enhances the apple flavours. This is the first Chenin Blanc I've tried, ever, and I think I will definitely try more!

Tom Vigeant reviewed this wine as follows:

Apple and lime dominate the nose. Off dry, a little thin. Sweetness on the finish outshines the acidity a tad too much. Pair with spicy food to balance it out, or drink on its own if you prefer your whites on the sweeter side.
