Boschendal The Pavillion Chenin Blanc 2015

Lightly colored. This wine from South African Western Cape region offers a nose of lemon, green apples, herbs, sea breeze and some flower notes. Fresh on the palate with a good acidity, then the crisp apples flavor kicks in with lemon and salty water making this wine enjoyable and interresting, especially at that price! Very good QPR.
