Winery Review: "A wonderful nose of bananas, oranges and melons jumps from the glass of this 100% Chenin Blanc, which is finished with a screw cap. Another great value from South Africa, this wine is medium-bodied, fresh, lively, and a terrific dry white to drink over the next year."
My Review: My initial thought when the Pieter Cruythoff was poured was the delicious smell associated with it. It didn't have a pungent smell of alcohol whatsoever. Not quite as dry as the El Cortijillo that I drank prior. The Pieter Cruythoff in particular left a bit of of "film" on my tongue when compared to the other wines. This wine was still on the light side but had a much fruitier taste than I would have expected. Definitely enjoyed the taste of this wine.
