Craig's easy-drinking Chenin grows from a 1961 Piketberg block on sandstone, and its fruit keeps it clear-cut and simple. White nectarine and crunchy apple bound out of the glass, with that crisp energy carrying through to the palate and finishing dry. Keep upbeat, stay in the moment. Buy two so you don't skip a beat.
