A medium straw color, the 2020 Secateurs Chenin Blanc delivers aromas of marzipan, citrus blossom, yellow apple skin and sweet citrus in the glass. Medium-bodied, the wine expresses flavors of lemon drop candy with a delightful mineral tension before concluding with a crisp and lively finish. Give it a try.
The 2020 Chenin Blanc Secateurs, which comes from 26 different vineyards, is matured in 500-liter barrels and stainless steel. It offers attractive yellow plum, dried honey and candle wax scents and just a touch of bruised apple in the background. The palate is well balanced with a spicy, stem-ginger-tinged entry, fine acidity and a subtle curry leaf note springing up on the finish. Just a delightful, easygoing Chenin Blanc from Adi Badenhorst.
