About the Wine: Vouvray is a name for late harvest Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley. Chenin Blanc has become more or less the official grape of South Africa and is also cultivated in California. California Chenin Blanc has never really caught on and South African wines in general have struggled recently, so momentum may be shifting back to France.
About THIS Wine: The wine is dark, almost amber in the glass. Honeydew and floral notes make up the nose. The palate is slightly tart with prominent notes of apricot. The finish is mildly acidic.
Drinking This Wine: This wine has a little too much acidity for a sipping wine. It work well with spicy chicken or grilled chicken.
Overall Impression: The wine is good but very simple. This strikes me as ten dollar bottle. At thirteen it is a little overpriced.
