Pizza with Majestic 'Definition' Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc 2018.
Pizza was probably the best I have made, a result of using '00' flour giving an authentically crisp rim.
The 2018 Definition has the code A1169 on the back label which is the identifier for De Morgenzon Winery.
De Morgenzon are one of South Africa's top Chenin producers and at time of writing Majestic have their 2015 Chenin under De Morgenzon's label at £26. Chenin is a winemaker's grape in that it can be made in any style. This is a powerfully restrained wine with very well integrated oak giving an underlying backbone. It needs time in the glass to allow one to fully appreciate it's magnificence and depth of flavour. Dry, but not acidic, voluptuous but not blowsy. An incredible Chenin for the price.
