Kaapzicht Chenin Blanc 2014

Name: Kaapzicht Chenin Blanc 2014
Brand: Kaapzicht
SKU: 35135

Ripe quince, pineapple and stone fruit with some interesting savoury undertones. Lightly textured palate, with a hint of sweetness and balancing crunchy acid, results in a brisk finish.

Juicy poolside sipper, also a winner with al fresco meals.
