Slowine Chenin Blanc Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Beautiful aromas of guava, gooseberry and ripe tropical fruit explode on the nose which follows through to a rich palate with great balance and elegance.

Fresh grilled linefish with a hint of lemon, thyme-roasted chicken and potatoes, oven-roasted vegetables drizzled in olive oil and soft white cheeses.

about the harvest: The Chenin blanc, Semillon and Sauvignon blanc grapes were harvested individually each at their optimum ripeness levels.

in the cellar : No skin contact was given to the Chenin blanc or Semillon. The Sauvignon blanc was left on the skins for a limited time, to extract some more flavour. The juice were settled over two days and fermented with a selected yeast strain known for producing lots of tropical fruit flavours. After fermentation the wine was blended stabilised and bottled.
