The Wine: MAN Chenin Blanc is crafted in South Africa on the Cape Coast. This bottle had a vintage year of 2023 and is made with the Chenin Blanc grape. The bottle costs $13 dollars.
Critic Review: Platter's South African Wine guide gave the wine 4 stars describing it with notes of a crunchy apple, biscuits, and lime zest. (https://southernwines.com/product/man-chenin-blanc-2023/)
Wine Folly: Page 98 of Wine Folly gives the Chenin Blanc grape tastes of pear, chamomile, and yellow apple. I didn't get many hints of pear, but I did get some flavors of plants and a green apple.
My Review: I enjoyed the wine the more I drank it. At first I got a shot of acidity towards the back of my throat, but the more I drank it, the more the acidity died down and it went down smoother. The aftertaste of the wine gave off notes of a green grape and squeeze green apple. After the swirl and sniff test, the wine smelled like a variegated liriope at the beginning of Spring. I did not have the wine with food, but I'm sure it would go well with some chicken or a rice dish.
