Vrede en Lust Karien 2009

John Platter 2008 - 4 Stars
Intricate nose of citrus, peach, tropical fruits and ripe pear on the nose. The bright fruit character follows through to the palate with
great balance and a smooth finish. Karien is our 100% Chenin Blanc originally produced as an easy drinking dry white wine for the wedding functions at Vrede en Lust, it became so popular that we decided to release it to the public, starting with the 2005 vintage. A wonderful, light white wine for warm summer's day and nights.

Goes well with seafood, pastas, Asian dishes, light meals and salads. Great on warm summer days as an aperitif.Available in 375ml with srewcap, 750ml synthetic closure.
