McFarlane Wines Monday's Child Chenin Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R265
‘From Chenin Blanc – 60% Polkadraai Hills and 40% Koelenhof. A expressive nose of citrus, peach, herbs, some leesy complexity, ginger and other spice. Surprisingly rich and broad given an alcohol of just 12.5%. Lots of flavour and well-integrated acidity.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
‘This wine shows poached quince and fresh apricots on the nose with some delicate florals and spice. The palate has fleshy yellow fruit and a savoury spice following through from the nose. There is great freshness of fruit and acidity that carries the wine and ensures great aging potential. The tangy fruit and delicate spice on the palate keeps the wine bright and moreish. Enjoy this with caramelised lemon and date roast chicken and golden roast potatoes.’ – Winemaker
