Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Stellenbosch
Country: South Africa
Year: 2009
Price: $15
Winery review: In the New World, South Africa is the top destination for reasonably priced, quality Chenin Blanc. Here, the grape represented 34 percent of land under vine up to 1990, but plantings have declined in favor of grapes with greater international appeal. Still, consider the consistently strong bottlings from Ken Forrester and Mulderbosch, both grown in the spectacularly beautiful Stellenbosch region.
My review: I found this Chenin Blanc to be very sweet. It also gave off this light free to the wine and was overall a good wine with food. I was able to taste this wine with a small amount of bread.
