Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2010

Delicate aromas of honey, lime zest, roasted nuts and peaches laced with sweet vanilla undertones. Well integrated wood and ageing on the lees developed a full, rich palate with a smooth lingering finish. The Chenin blanc is concentrated and structured for longevity. An elegant well crafted wine.
