Tasting notes: Mineralium Chenin Blanc
Mineralium Chenin blanc is bright and pale yellow in the glass. The nose displays hints of green apple skin, citrus fruit and fresh cut grass. Therefore this bone-dry white shows terrific balance, with refreshing acidity and minerality. And the limestone mouthfeel is supplemented by juicy grapefruit aromas on the finish.
