WineSaint
Tobacco leaf and limestone minerality define this chenin blanc, with ripe stone fruit and bright citrus threading through the palate. The oak feels prominent now, masking some of the wine's natural elegance, but the concentrated fruit should integrate it over time. Shows real potential as these young vines develop.
