Stellenboch. Eight-six per cent Chenin Blanc and 14 per cent Viognier.

Creamy, sweet, tropical fruit (mango and banana) and honey on the nose.

Thick and creamy in the mouth, honey, peach, orange, lemon and lime, lightlty floral, peppery.

A long peppery, slightly tart finish.

A very rich and impressive wine.

Great QPR at $14.95 (Canadian).

This one sounds delightful. I'm going to keep my eyes open for it.
