When you've purged your system of the legion of Pinot Noirs you've been working through, how about doing Chenin? It is such a versatile grape (which makes it confusing to buy sight unseen), Wooded, unwooded, sweet, bone dry, medium, nobly rotted..... Try Ken Forrester Chenin (Waitrose 7.49/Sainsbury 7.99) then try Forresters FMC (Waitrose 17.99), Raats 'Original' Chenin (around £6 --and deliciously unwooded). South Africa grows more Chenin than anywhere else, and there are some real crackers. A white for the 21st Century? Chenin — one of the great unacknowledged varieties!!
