Painted Wolf The Den Chenin Blanc 2010

An elegant full bodied wine with tropical flavors of creamy pineapple, melon and vanilla. The wine has a lovely texture with a long finish with just enough acid to keep it really fresh and vibrant. The wine has been sealed with a screw cap to maintain its freshness.

The Den Chenin Blanc is delicious on its own. The wine has tons of flavors and is just off- dry so it’s a versatile partner for many different dishes.
