Windmeul Reserve Chenin Blanc 2012

The 2012 Chenin Blanc is rich and smooth. This full bodied wine has aromas of honey and stone fruit. With the oak maturation the flavour profile will definitely improve over an extended period.

The Chenin Blanc is ideally served with salads, fish and chicken. The fullness of the wine can be balanced with seafood dishes, even paired with rich, creamy dishes.
