Oldenburg Vineyards Chenin Blanc 2011

Name: Oldenburg Vineyards Chenin Blanc 2011
Brand: Oldenburg Vineyards
SKU: 29799

The wine has a beautiful bright golden colour. The Chardonnay component displays an elegant floral expression with an arrangement of delicious pear and yellow plum. Together the Chenin and the Chardonnay create a wonderful inviting richness on the palate filled with roasted macadamia pockets. Beautiful layers of fruit and vanilla oak spice transforms into a silky smooth finish. The zesty acidity of the Chenin Blanc completes the balance with freshness and crisp rejuvenating minerality.
