From the winery:

The wine offers a complex nose showing quince, white peach and yellow apple, with fenugreek spices give more dimension alongside the mineral intensity of the wine. The stone fruit character follows through onto an exceptionally balanced, very delicate and fine textured palate showing a peach-melba character with an exquisite length and freshness. The wine lingers with hints of ripe nectarine and apricot, zesty lemon and wet chalk.

91 points from the Wine Advocate:

Beginning with a broader mouthfeel and lively fresh focus, the 2021 Old Vine Chenin Blanc offers notions of crisp yellow apple and sweet citrus with notes of melon skin and citrus blossom. Medium-bodied and with 13% alcohol, the palate is fresh, complex and food-friendly, and it has a spicy, lingering finish, showing fantastic weight and texture. The wine fermented in a mix of half French oak barrels and half stainless steel vessels.
