Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2002

A youthful green tinge and attractive gold colour on sight; floral character, peaches and blossoms on the nose; and a fat juicy palate, fragrantly rich in ripe oaky / lees character.The good acid backbone means that this elegant, well crafted wine is built to last.
