Niel Joubert Chenin Blanc 2005

Nose bursting with passion fruit, guava and melon and a good dollop of citrus with distinct limey notes. Bright and fresh in the mouth with repeat of all the nose promised. Well rounded and fresh. Brisk, bright, fresh finish.

Delicious on its own or a great accompaniment to chicken dishes.
