Tasting - Pieter Cruythoft Chenin Blanc

Name: Pieter Cruythoff's Chenin Blanc
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $4.95 (sale, normally $9)


The winery's review: "A wonderful nose of bananas, oranges and melons jumps from the glass of this 100% Chenin Blanc, which is finished with a screw cap. Another great value from South Africa, this wine is medium-bodied, fresh, lively, and a terrific dry white to drink over the next year."


My review: This white wine was much sweeter than the first, a little too sweet for my taste.  To be honest, my palate isn't refined enough to taste the "bananas, oranges, and melons" yet. I did not try it with food.
