Something cool happens to CB with time. Those sharp grapefruit & honey notes transform into rounded green fig & stimulating honeysuckle notes. Yes, the acidity has dropped out but it is interesting now, as it has some depth. Delicious & vibrant and a perfect match to halibut. (Thanks Nathan)

Paired with baked red snapper crusted with crumbs and Parmesan over a bed of peppers and onions rice and salad. We were all impressed. Nice fruity nose. Somewhat floral and I picked up a touch of peach or perhaps honey. Bright and crisp and fresh with a touch of crisp green apple. Not acidic. Very enjoyable with the fish. Whites aren’t our “thing” but this paired up very nicely. Very enjoyable!

Clear, bright, yellow-gold with green hints. Medium intensity nose, with floral notes and tropical fruit. A watery mouthfeel, with a muted attack. Floral spice on the mid-palate that evolves to flavours of lemon and subtle spice. An inoffensive and simple dry white. Not much collaring potential- drink up!

Pungent floral honey and marzipan scents. Similar palate in a very dry style of Chenin, with little fruit but plenty of almonds, angel food cake, and a hint of nettles. Tastes more like a Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend but quite well done.

The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like orange. It tastes like lemon, orange and honeysuckle. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Nice golden colour. Crisp with just enough acidity to keep it going.

buttery nose like a chardonnay. Straw gold in colour. Quite nice really. Oops. Grabbed the wrong wine. This was the 2005 Family Reserve Chardonnay. No wonder it tasted like Chardonnay! I guess I will try the Chenin another day.

More so the light crisp style rather than the fuller french style, which I prefer. Delicately scented with citrus fruit, and a bit of spice on the nose and palate with moderate acidity and a clean finish

Pale straw-gold color, medium viscosity. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, slight mineral note. Palate of grapefruit, melons, honey, warm with moderate acidity and a hint of oak.
