Tasting- The Royal Old Vines Steen

Name: The Royal Old Vines Steen
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: "The 2015 Chenin Blanc offers loads of melony fruit interspersed with hints of honeysuckle and peach. It is delicious, crisp, fresh, lively, and a dead ringer for a good Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Drink it over the next year."

My Review: This sparkles on my tongue and I don't know what that means but I don't like when it happens! Not a sparkling wine, but perhaps because it is royal there is a little extra somethin-somethin there. On the finish, surprise surprise, we have cat pee to a slight extent with some acidity.

Paired with food: Nope, but it might go well with Fancy Feast, since cats are royal and all.
