Tasting - Riebeek Chenin Blanc 2014

Name: Riebeek Chenin Blanc 2014
Variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2014 
Price: $10 (Currently on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $6.95)

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

My Review: To be honest this wine was hard for me to smell. It wasn't aromatically strong, and all I could really smell was the alcohol. To the palate, this wine showed an overwhelming amount of green apple and was very sour. Sour enough to make you pucker a bit. I wasn't a huge fan of this wine.
