Graham Beck Bowed Head Chenin Blanc 2010

Broad and appealing with concentrated whiffs of apricot and peach blossoms, honeysuckle, lime, melon and ripe pineapple flavours on the nose. A full and creamy palate with layers of ripe tropical fruit and delicate hints of spice complemented by a long clean and crisp citrus aftertaste.

Good company for Alfresco lunches. Also great with grilled chicken or fish, rich pasta dishes and spicy food.
