Wildekrans Barrel Selection Osiris Chenin Blanc 2010

An elegant example of a cool climate Chenin Blanc. A golden glow with a pale straw shine on the eye. Slightly citrusy, showing subtle peach with the warm undertones of almond on the nose. This follows through to a voluptuous finish of apricot, vanilla and grapefruit with a suggestion of honey.

This Chenin will compliment various dishes: from orange infused duck confit to lemon infused Norwegian salmon.
