The second in a four-tier line-up: a few pounds more (and well worth it) than the Bush Vine Chenin Blanc and great value against the next Vineyard Selection, while the top Family Reserve is double the price but a real treat. From Stellenbosch and Paarl bush vines, it shows bright citrus, waxy ripe apple, a hint of honeyed mango and crisp acidity. A reliable buy.
