Tasting-Riebeek Chenin Blanc

Name: Riebeek Chenin Blanc
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa

Vintage Cellar Review: Fresh kiwifruit, green apple and almond notes bounce along, showing a flash of plantain on the friendly finish. Drink now. 

My Review: Right off the bat, this wine didn't come across quite as appealing to me. I would consider this to be due to the fact that the aroma seemed to remind me of some sort of chemical. This white wine definitely had a strong nose. It left a sort of pepper taste and came off as fairly spicy. While this wasn't my favorite, it was more appealing than I originally was anticipating.
