This 100% Chenin Blanc in 2013 oozes with ripe mango, litchi and guava. Layers of spice and a steely acidity add to the sleek texture and powerful embrace; it is certainly Big, and yet 'Easy'. Classic Loire-like dried straw and wet-pebble notes give a slight savoury component to the pure racy fruit. The finish is full and long, leaving your palate with a sensation of peaches and cream. A dreamy wine with the structure to develop over the next 2 years.

The 2013 Ernie Els Big Easy White has more vivacity on the nose than the previous vintage, with attractive, simple peachy scents. The palate is well-balanced with light peach and lemongrass notes that segue into a pleasant, unashamedly commercial finish that is clean and crisp. This is par for the course. Drink now.
