Protea Chenin Blanc

2022 Vintage- As any serious wine drinker knows, one can’t drink a label, nor should one purchase wine based on the attractiveness of a label. With that said, the label on Protea’s 2022 Chenin Blanc certainly caught our attention for its beauty. Moreover, it made a fine introduction to Protea’s pure, simply beautiful Chenin Blanc. The 2022 Protea Chenin Blanc offers a fresh, in your face, fruit driven nose, which made us want to dive right in. A delightful mélange of apricot, nectarine, and quince immediately greet the nose. In the mouth, the wine’s aromatic fruit flavors re-emerge with added touches of grapefruit and lime. A hint of dried honey lends texture to the wine’s succulent fruit, while vibrant acidity makes this dry Chenin Blanc dazzle straight through to the finish. So refreshing and fun to drink, we found it hard to put this wine down. Enjoy the 2022 Protea Chenin Blanc now and often with a moderate chill (40°-45° F). Anticipated maturity: 2023-2026.
