Visual Review

Let’s start with what first catches your eye. It pours with a bright lemon hue that practically glows, catching the light with that clear, glassy brilliance. It’s not shy, even though it’s fairly transparent.

Aroma Review

One sniff and you’re transported straight to the crisp bustle of an early morning farmer’s market. Pears, lemons, and that whiff of cool air that makes you feel like your life is temporarily sorted out. It’s got range, this one, the aromas are vivid and lively, and there’s a sense of clarity in the bouquet that suggests the winemaker knew exactly what they were doing.

Taste Review

the acidity is high, the kind that slaps your palate awake without being rude about it. The body is medium, so it dances lightly rather than waltzing in with boots. Alcohol is on the gentle side, which keeps the whole affair refreshingly crisp instead of turning into a warm nap. It’s bone dry, with a lean structure and just enough viscosity to feel elegant. The flavors come through strong and clean, and while it’s not a Rubik’s cube of complexity, it gives you more than enough to keep things interesting.

There’s a nice balance across all the elements, no one’s trying to steal the spotlight. And while it has a good bit of length, with a pleasant and moderate finish, don’t expect it to stick around forever. This is one of those wines you need to enjoy while it’s showing off. After a while, the sparkle dims and it loses its bounce, so no, it’s not one for your “let’s finish this bottle tomorrow” club.

Very good stuff. Fratelli’s Chenin Blanc is the kind of white you bring to a gathering to quietly impress everyone and then casually shrug when they ask where you got it. It’s lively, refreshing, and just complex enough to keep your wine-snob friends nodding in approval. Just drink it soon after opening, it doesn’t like to be ignored.
