Arniston Bay Reserve Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2008

Cool climate acidity and long hangtime ripeness mark this expressive wine. It's filled with tart green apple, peach, pineapple, pine cone and rich honeyed flavors, with that distinctive waxed bean note of Chenin Blanc.

This wine is suitable for vegetarians, but not for vegans. Serve at room temperature with game steaks and oxtail.
