Stonedale Chenin Blanc 2009 [Export only]

This is a very fruity but dry Chenin Blanc expressing fresh citrus flavours together with lovely floral aromas of dried apple and musk sweets. The palate is crispy as a result of a good balancing acidity, complemented with a lingering aftertaste.

A perfect partner for salads, seafood and Asian cuisine. Ideal for outdoor picnics and no need for a corkscrew, it's screw-cap!Serve chilled (7 - 10°C).
