Name: Beyerskloof Chenin/Pinotage 2011
Brand: Beyerskloof
SKU: 30337

A light yellow, grassy colour with a fresh green tint. This intuitive blend has up front floral and tropical fruit aromas, giving way to delicious pear-drop and strawberry flavours. A smooth and exiting entry with a good palate weight and balance. A fresh yet soft acidity ending with a mineral, earthy hint. A lingering strawberry aftertaste that leaves you wanting more.

This wine has a good fruit character and freshness and will match well with Asian style dishes with chicken and fish.A must with seafood, salads and white meat dishes.
