Tasting - The Royal




Name: Old Vines Steen
Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $8.95

Winery review:
87 Points – Robert Parker
"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."

My review:
This wine had harsh sharp apple aromas and light tannins. To me, it tasted like fruity water. I would definitely have again.

Food or no food:
I didn't have this wine with food.
