A surprise wine, tasted while visiting Betz Family Winery—sold in 2011 to Steve and Bridgit Griessel, a South African couple. In light of the unique partnership between the two families, such a collaboration is possible. The Quinta Essentia Chenin Blanc quivers with decadent aromas of baked yellow apple, banana chips, dried pineapple, lemon curd, orange blossom and honeycomb. There is glycerol and body on the palate, and yet, there is an ethereal aspect to it too, made lighter by a spine of lively acid. 13.9% ABV | Sample
