YOUR RESULTS for "Chenin Blanc"

Medium aromatics include chamomile and lanolin.  The palate is medium weight with light floral notes such as honeysuckle. Fresh, clean and minerally with white peach and melon flavors. This is precise and focused; it's a wonderful aperitif or food wine.

Stone fruits, melon and citrus aromas lead a juicy palate bursting with cantaloupe, clementine and lemon peel. The acidity is fresh in this mediums-bodied wine with a crisp, dry finish.

 The Champalous are masters of Loire Chenin Blanc, producing Vouvray in all styles; this still, dry rendition, aged in stainless steel, represents their flagship cuvée. Gentle and refreshing on the palate, it boasts a delightful balance of stony minerality with luscious, almost honeyed fruit and flowery notes, making for a great apéritif or easy pairing with all sorts of dishes. 

Richer aromas include pears and tree fruits; the richness is balanced on the palate by fresh acid, more orchard fruit and a kiss of citrus and florality.

Complex and elegant, with layers of pure, concentrated pear, citrus and stone fruit flavors, mouth-watering acidity and a tangy, mineral core.

Bob Lynde is a native of Portland Oregon who fell in love with South Africa and its wines while the country still faced an international economic boycott. When the boycott was lifted in the early ‘90s, he was ready, founding Cape Classics, one of the first companies to import South African wines to the US. He began a collaborative project with local growers, the “Bob’s African” line of wines—solid sippers offering great value—and 10% of the proceeds went to local NGOs in the communities where the wines were produced. He sold the import company in 2005 to focus on developing the Fat Barrel Brand, which includes both South African and Oregon wines, and continues the Bob’s wines as well. The Fat Barrel line of wines uses fruit grown by “selected” growers that Fat Barrel has worked with for more than 10 years.

Aromas of peaches and cream, nectarine and a touch of floral character on the nose. Soft and round on the palate with more stone fruit flavors and refreshing minerality to balance.
