The MAN Chenin Blanc affirms that South Africa is a fantastic source of affordable and delicious Chenin. Sourced from dry-farmed bush vines in the Agter-Paarl area, the 2018 “Free-Run Steen” bottling continues a string of successes for this wine. Fresh and fragrant, the bouquet is replete with scents of honeysuckle, pear, green apple, lemon and tropical fruits. The flavors are pure, bright and lively, with pear, lemon, guava and green apple fruits underlain by delectable floral and spice tones. Year in and year out, the MAN Chenin Blanc ranks among the best white wine values in the world. It’s a perfect summer sipper.
