Sonata Chenin Blanc 2011

Pale straw colour with aromas of gentle ripe tropical fruit on the nose. Further soft white fruits such as peaches and pears create layers on a delightful fruity and attractive nose. This is an easy-to-drink, uncomplicated wine for every use. The soft acidity is appealing and easy on the palate, with good fruit expression on the mid-palate and a light yet firm, crisp finish.
