M·A·N Family Wines Cuveé V Chenin Blanc 2011

Tropical fruit, ripe pineapple, syrupy peaches and sweet citrus aromas and flavours are backed by a refreshing acidity and minerality characteristic of our coastal vineyards. Don't be fooled by the sweetness as this is a versatile food wine.

Will go with most fish, aromatic curry and poultry dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. Serve chilled.

in the vineyard : Vintage conditions: The 2011 vintage in the Agter-Paarl region was a dry vintage, with virtually no rain throughout the growing season. Strong winds in November 2010 led to a smaller crop than average, and early heat in January 2011 caused faster ripening for a very early harvest. Overall the whites were very aromatic and showed typical varietal characteristics.

Sourced from vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region.

in the cellar : Only free-run juice used in producing this wine. After settling the must was inoculated and allowed to ferment in stainless steel tanks at an average fermentation temperature of 13° centigrade. The fermentation was stopped at the desired sugar level to ensure a slightly lower alcohol and fresh natural acidity.
