Cederberg Sustainable Chenin Blanc 2011

The accomplishment of this wine lies in the gentle nuances of white peaches, pears, and apples; underlined by some elusive layers of tropical fruit. That is backed up by the freshness of the mouth-watering acidity and a rich creaminess due to extended lees contact.

This wine should compliment any creamy dish as well as Italian cuisine.
