Graham Beck Gamekeepers Reserve Chenin Blanc 2008

2008 Veritas Awards - Gold Medal
2008 Michelangelo International Wine Award - Gold
Upfront tropical fruit, ripe pineapple, melon, peaches and honey flavours on the nose. Full and juicy palate with layers of ripe tropical fruit complemented by a long clean and crisp aftertaste.

"Without pushing these old vines too much Pieter Ferreira has coaxed the perfect amount of intensity and magic from this Chenin - a marvellous advert for this variety." - Matthew Jukes' Top 50 from Cape Wine 2008

Good company for Alfresco lunches. Also great with grilled chicken or fish, rich pasta dishes and spicy food.
