  Green apple and tropical fruits on the nose. Nice full mouth feel with a bit of acidity to offset the residual sugar. Paired well with grilled chicken. Great QPR.

  Wow. We are very impressed by this Chenin Blanc. The QPR is incredible. This is still crisp and fruity with a lovely acidity that helps it pair well with richer fall foods.

  Color: a light straw, almost clear yellow
  -Body:appears to be medium+ body,
  -Aroma: fresh from the wine cooler, this wine had pear, red apple, and light fruit aromas
  -Palate: very full mouthfeel with green apple, red apple, and pear on the tongue. Acid is initially nonexistent but there’s a lingering acidity that last 15 seconds.

  Bright apple notes on the nose, delicious fruit with lots of acidity, clean refreshing with enough substance to handle mutter paneer and chickpeas. Great food wine, unbelievable value for a Californian white at $8.95.
  
  Great to find an everyday alternative to kiwi sauvignon blanc.

  Drunk as aperitif over a couple of days
  
  Complexity and mouth appeal increase with air to the extent that an initial 87/88 moves up to 89/90
  
  Pear and stone fruit, minerality unmarred by any hint of oak, this shows what can be done with judicious harvesting and handling in the cellar. Enough acidity to outweigh the lowish residual sugar
