Stellenrust Stellenbosch Manor Chenin Blanc 2021

Typified by ripeness and richness, this is big and bold, with dollops of clotted cream. There's a tense line of lime zest and lemon under there somewhere. As well as some marmalade, apricot and stony, flinty notes. The zesty high acidity keeps this all tucked in.
