August’s wine is the 2016 Stellenrust, Chenin Blanc, South Africa. (£9.15 a bottle from www.thefinewinecompany.co.uk).
Robert Parker says:
“The 2016 Chenin Blanc offers plenty of white peach and tangerine notes on the nose, upfront and bold, and there is nothing wrong with that. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, lively with lemon thyme notes infusing the citrus fruit. It sports good body and depth on the finish—a very delicious Chenin Blanc that follows the superb 2015. And look at the recommended retail price… what a bargain!” 91/100
