Morgenhof Estate Chenin Blanc 2006

The wine has a lovely greenish-yellow colour. On the nose the flavours are a combination of honey blossoms, dried apricots, peaches, and lime with a good wood integration. The palate is full-bodied and complex with a good balance of acidity. The flavours on the nose follow very well through on the palate. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in French Oak for 8 months.

This wine goes well with curries, salads, fish dishes or any form of fish, poultry and red meat. You can also enjoy as a pre-dinner drink.
