Avondale Chenin Blanc 2006

Veritas Awards 2006 - Gold Medal
Michelangelo Awards 2006 - Silver Medal
A very “un-Chenin-like” Chenin Blanc, made to be enjoyed on its own or with light salads. This is not a showy wine, but an extremely drinkable wine with higher acid to add zippiness and zest. And do not forget to look out for the Sauvignon Blanc characteristics of this wine!
