Visual Review

Pouring a glass of Desaal Chenin Blanc, you’re immediately met with an interesting visual contradiction. It’s clear, with a golden hue, yet there’s something about its color that feels just a touch… artificial? It’s definitely not the most vibrant-looking wine…

Aroma Review

This wine doesn’t hold back, delivering a solid variety of fruit-forward aromas. Bright lemon, juicy peach, crisp red apple, exotic mango, passionfruit, and even a hint of pineapple. The intensity is present and satisfying, making every sniff a little adventure of its own.

Taste Review

The acidity is high, giving it that lively, refreshing zip. The alcohol warmth is well-balanced, never overpowering. Despite being dry, it doesn’t feel austere or hollow; instead, the flavors are distinct, delivering a well-composed mix that mirrors the aromatic profile. And the finish—moderately long and pleasantly lingering—leaves you wanting another sip.

This wine doesn’t just deliver; it surprises. It’s an undeniably enjoyable experience. Desaal Chenin Blanc may not have the flashiest appearance, but it sure knows how to make an impression where it counts.
