"Tasted from tank, the 2025 Chenin Blanc Helios is insanely beautiful. Citrus peel, sweet flowers, mint, tangerine, oil and slate all soar from the glass. Readers will find a complex, dynamic Chenin loaded with personality and character. Most of the Helios will likely end up in restaurants. Readers who can find it should not hesitate."
