MAN Vintners Chenin Blanc 2010

Tropical fruit, guava and melon aromas, crisp and bold sweet citrus backed by refreshing acidity and minerality characteristic of our coastal vineyards.

A versatile food wine to go with most poultry, fish and salad dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. Serve chilled.

in the vineyard : Sourced from various vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. Mostly un-irrigated, older (10 - 35 yr old), bush-vine (un-trellised) vineyards with low yields of 6.5 tons/ha.

about the harvest: Ideal ripening conditions started the 2010 season, with cool temperatures prevailing. Strong winds resulted in some crop loss, but increased concentration of flavours in remaining fruit. Good winter rains in 2009 kept vineyards healthy throughout summer. Overall quality of grapes looks very good indeed.
