Raats Original Chenin Blanc is an un-wooded, organic that's very clean and satisfying indeed. Made with hand-picked Chenin Blanc grapes, this is a versatile wine with juicy apple and pineapple flavours, alongside refreshing lime zest aromas. Fruity and fresh with a long, satisfying finish. A top-notch example of one of South Africa's greatest grape varieties.
