Tasting- Pieter Cruythoff Chenin Blanc





Name: Pieter Cruythoff
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: Regular: $9, Sale: $4.95
                 
Magazine review: "A wonderful nose of bananas, oranges and melons jumps from the glass of this 100% Chenin Blanc, which is finished with a screw cap. Another great value from South Africa, this wine is medium-bodied, fresh, lively, and a terrific dry white to drink over the next year."

My review: I was not a huge fan of this wine, but it was not terrible.  My initial smell of this wine was some fruit and a little bit of woody/earthy. At first taste, the wine was a bit bitter with a woody dry taste.  Later, I tasted a bit more of some tree and tropical fruits.  This would not be my first choice in wine!

I drank this wine on its own with no food.
