Kumkani Chenin Blanc 2008

Medium to full bodied Chenin Blanc, intense primary Citrus fruit on nose with underlying notes of guava and apple aromas. Palate a mouth full with good acidity and well integrated honey and vanilla flavours derived from the smart oak selection used in this wine. Good finish mainly because of the extended lees contact of product after fermentation was completed.

This wine is the ideal partner for an elegant summer picnic served with salmon, cream, smoked salmon or quiche.
