Porter Mill Station Reserve Chenin Blanc / Chardonnay / Grenache Blanc 2006

A mixture of tantalizing light jasmine blossoms and potpourri flavours on the nose. The same flavours and hints of apple are found on the palate. This is a full complex wine with a smooth aftertaste.

Enjoy the wine with crumbed pork & apple sauce, chicken casserole, fried chicken, savoury rice and sweet potatoes.
