Ernie Els Big Easy Chenin Blanc 2022
The Big Easy Chenin Blanc 2022 displays the scents of the tropics… pineapple chunks, salted mango, papaya and a squeezes of lime drift on the breeze of orange blossom, honeysuckle and the faintest whiff of summer fynbos. This transporting bouquet follows on to the palate evolving into stone fruits; fresh cut peaches, bites of nectarine freshness and zesty apple skin. The fruit is mouth coating and rich lifted by an inherent vibrancy that crests long into the lime-tinged, chalky finish.

Tropical flavours of ripe yellow peaches, white pear, a touch of vanilla blossoms, toast, butterscotch, orange skin and pineapple meet you on the nose. This wine shows many layers as the Chenin Blanc opens up. Good structure and ripe fruit are well complimented by the wood and can definitely mature for another 10 years.

Harry Hartman Church Chenin Blanc 2020
Harry Hartman Church Chenin Blanc 2020 is as beguiling as Chenin Blanc should be. Some wines can enchant you with a mélange of flavours, and here, there is no shortage of ripe kumquat, guava, frangipani, fennel and dill aromas.
On taste, a fusion of tastes delivers rich notes of melon and cinnamon-dusted pineapple that are underpinned with a creamy edge and balanced with tangy acidity. A refreshing bitterness of orange pith adds a lift.
