Eagle Crest Chenin Blanc / Chardonnay / Viognier 2009 DISCONTINUED

Colour: In the glass a brilliant light yellow colour with slightly greener highlights.
Palate: The tropical guava aroma and crisp acidity of the Chenin combined with the full, creamy palate and whift of citrus derived from Chardonnay, and the delicate aroma of fresh mangoes from Viognier, makes this a perfectly balanced wine that satisfies the senses.

This deliciously fruity wine can be enjoyed at any time on its own or as an ideal accompaniment to fish, chicken, salads and light pasta dishes.
