Raats Original Unwooded Chenin Blanc 2018

Raats Original Chenin Blanc 2018

Accept no substitutes.

The Original Chenin Blanc from Bruwer Raats is unwooded in order to represent the variety “at its most natural” and this wine is always good and clean and fresh. The nose of the 2018 shows a top note of hay before guava, citrus and peach while the palate is nicely balanced with pure fruit, zingy acidity and a pithy finish. Great everyday drinking. Wine Cellar price: R130 a bottle.

Editor’s rating: 89/100.
