Rudera – Robusto Chenin Blanc 2013 – Stellenbosch, South Africa

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of quince, small yellow fruits and Williams pears associated with fine touches of oxidation, kumquat as well as hints of crushed apple and an imperceptible hint of honey. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built and offers a nice mineral frame, a fine acidity, tension, a good structure, gourmandise, a small complexity and a fine straightness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed mirabelle, quince, kumquat and ripe small yellow fruits combined with hints of honey, fresh pear and a subtle / imperceptible hint of nut / almond. Good length and good persistence.
