WineScores' Review

Complex, impressive, creamy>
While South Africa makes outstanding wines, overall, we don't see enough of them here. This is one we are fortunate to have in our market. Chenin is South Africa's most important grape and they have more planted than anywhere else in the world, and honestly they make it the best. This one suggests oil of lemon, green almond, honey, starfruit, white blossoms and beeswax. It is creamy yet racy with impressive focus and concentration. Lengthy and complex, this is a wine you won't want to miss out on.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
