Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
This is Simonsig's oak-matured Chenin Blanc, a step up in richness from a straightforward unoaked style. Barrel ageing rounds out the fruit, adding notes of vanilla, toasted nut and baked apple alongside Chenin's natural honeyed, waxy character, with fresh acidity keeping it balanced. It's a versatile, food-friendly white with a bit more weight and texture than a simple everyday Chenin.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
