Wine Entry : Houghton Chenin Blanc 2005 (Australian)

My parents got this wine from Giant supermarket at $20 plus. I found it nice and refreshing, not really a dessert wine but has sufficient sweetness to tease the palate. In the glass, it was a pale greenish-yellow.

Smell : Green apple, limey and grassy

Taste : Refreshing lime sweetness, fresh acidity, crisp cucumber

After taste : Slight bitter cucumber with firm acidity.
