Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, off-dry
An approachable, everyday-drinking Chenin Blanc from Simonsig — one of Stellenbosch's most reliable producers — showing fresh guava and green apple with a touch of floral lift and a lick of sweetness balanced by bright acidity. It's clean and fruit-forward, designed for easy enjoyment rather than cellaring. A versatile white that works well with mildly spiced food or simply on its own as a refreshing glass.
