Painted Wolf Chenin Blanc The Den 2018

This wine has a bright aroma and flavour. Soft, peach, lemon and guava with an underlying savoury minerality and a whisper of wood. The wine has a great texture and a layered finish with bright acidity keeping it fresh and vibrant.

Lanolin, lemon oil, bitter melon rind and a soft petrol character form the nose of this white wine. It somehow smells rich and generous, but not in a fruity way, with the fruit playing only a supporting role here to the richer waxy and oily sensations. The palate is light-plus in weight, but surprisingly nervy and brisk, with searing acidity and green fruit tones that are tart and sharp.
