Eikendal Chenin Blanc 2008

The Eikendal Chenin Blanc is an elegantly wooded and fresh
white wine, with a full, rounded and balanced palate. On the
nose it has melon, pineapple, litchi, apricot and peach flavours.
The fruit flavours follow through on to the palate, with a rich and
generous fruit and cream finish. . The oaked component gives
the wine an extra, and graceful structure, without dominating
the wine.

Enjoy with roasted vegetables and Frenchchicken, pineapple flan, or just on its own.
