Outstanding, oily, zesty.
Made by the France-born Boutinot company of wineries who has expanded beyond the French borders to include projects in South Africa, Italy, the UK and Canada.
Tea Leaf is an outstanding Chenin Blanc from the country that is synonymous with the variety, South Africa, and it is blended with Grenache Blanc and Palomino.
Oily lemony aromas are woven with creamed yellow apples, honey, white blossoms and spiced undertones. The palate has a similar oiliness; golden fruits and candle wax, green almond and resin flavours roll across the tongue.
