Ken Forrester ''Petit Chenin'' (South Africa) 2018

pts Vinous

The 2018 Petit Chenin Blanc sees no wood and is deliberately bottled early. It offers grass clippings and light undergrowth scents on the nose, almost Sauvignon Blanc-like in style. The palate is simple but clean and well balanced. Orange pith and subtle marmalade notes on the entry lead to a light spiced, slightly nutty/smoky finish. Enjoy this well-made Chenin Blanc over the next three or four years.

pts Wine Advocate

The 2018 Petit Chenin Blanc is zippy, fresh and citrus-driven on the nose. The medium-bodied palate shows an everyday drinking wine with tangy citrus and green apple flavors without the presence of oak. It's an honest expression with a decent finish. 400,000 bottles were made.

pts Wine Spectator

Juicy, with medium-weight orange peel, mineral and honeysuckle notes, with a lively finish. Nicely done. Not imported into the U.S. Drink now
