Tree fruits dominate this wine, including mealy apple, spiced pear, and quince jam. The ripe and cooked qualities contribute to a hint of sweetness, but the wine finishes dry due to the refreshing acidity and undertones of citrus. Hints of lanolin and petrol are markers for Chenin Blanc and show the typicity of this wine. Lees aging adds a creamy texture. The style is waxy, broad, and unctuous, but stays in balance with a mineral finish.
