2021 Elodie Chenin Blanc

The best wine is the recently released 2021 The Landscape Series Elodie, pure Chenin Blanc from Gabrielskloof, a Cape stalwart rejuvenated by Peter-Allen Finlayson of Crystallum fame. Nervy on the nose, this has focus and drive, a more Zen-like expression of the variety with plenty of vigour. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a very appealing spine of acidity and a twist of sour lemon on the finish, this is the one wine where I could have ordered another glass.
