Africa Ifula Chenin Blanc / Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Pale straw colour. The nose shows gentle, ripe tropical fruit aromas, like papaya, mangoes and a hint of banana. Further soft, white fruits such as peaches and pears create layers on a delightful, fruity and attractive nose. The palate enters softly, with the fruit following through to the finish. The soft acidity is appealing and easy on the palate. Good fruit expression on the mid-palate with a light yet firm crisp finish.
