McGregor Chenin Blanc 2008

The freshness and youth is reflected in the greenish tint of the wine. Lively prominent fruity guava and green herb flavours with a hint of lime welcome you. The flavour on the palate is well in balance with the aroma and is crisp, clean and lingering on the aftertaste.

Serve between 8° - 11° C. Enjoy while young with smoked fish, spare ribs, barbecued chicken, mussels in garlic butter or on its own.
