Wildekrans Chenin Blanc 2005

The grapes are selected from low yielding twenty-six year old vines and harvested early in the morning before sunrise. Lightly oaked for 3 months, this wine is long and lingering on the palate with aromas of peaches, apricots and pineapples. It is an excellent example of a cool climate Chenin Blanc.
