Rijk's 2008 Private Cellar Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc (Coastal Region)

Though sweeter aromas of melon, dried peach and apricot abound in the bouquet, the prominent acidity lifts the mouth and provides vibrancy to the rich fruit flavors on the palate. Woody spice and a touch of tannic astringency adds a nice texture to the finish. Drink now or through 2012.
