A clean crisp wine with flavors of lemon, grapefruit and a touch of sweetness. Great deal at around $10

Surprisingly complex for such an inexpensive bottle. An excellent pairing with sushi.

On the high end of good, in pat because of the price. Lime and mint on the nose. Not much fruit on the palate, a bit of lime. Good acidity with pleasantly alcoholic finish. Kind of one-note, but a good easy drinking quaffer.

This time around, things are not the same as the last bottle. The aromatic is not that impressive; but I detect some lemon. The mid-palate is overly bitter, and I do not detect as much fruit as last time. The finish is average.

More of a SB profile than CB. Crisp and acidic - a little thin on the fruit component. Some lenght and grip to the finish. Certainly not bad, but I've had better, even at this price point.

This almost had an Aussie Viognier feel with peach and solid tropical fruit notes. It was not as acidic as I would have hoped but it was a cheap, value-oriented wine that would be worth getting again.

Incredible value for a crisp, clean and acidic wine. Fabulous for events! Great casual sipper. Awesome with light fare. Very pretty . Just a whisper of sweetness. Orchard fruits. Broad appeal. (D5, F6.5; Pine, Vineyard Brands)

Wow...very impressed with the wine at the price point. Tropical fruit, graceful acidity. Bit to much alcohol on the back, so don't drink at room temp, definitely drink chilled. I am going to keep my eye out for more chenin b/c of this one. NZ sav blanc fans, this is a must try.

Really nice Chenin that I picked up in a close-out bin for $6. Tropical fruits and pear framed around a crisp acidic backbone. Finishes nice and long too. Great QPR here - this is my new house white.

amazing value! nice, crisp, green apple. Sweet and reasonably long finish. Surprising, really. Overall a bit monolithic, but for the price, it's a great value. Suggested by Beltramo.
