Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc / Chardonnay 2015

The 2014 vintage is a blend of 61% Chardonnay and 39% Sauvignon Blanc. Chardonnay adding the weight and structure with fresh apples and pears. Sauvignon adding the fresh grassy, gooseberry and flower aroma. Wine is crisp with beautiful length and freshness. This wine will make you feel refreshed even after bottle number two.

Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc/ Chardonnay is perfect for drinking now, but it will keep its refreshing style for the next 12 months. This wine is perfect to enjoy with alight salad, a picnic with summer fair, or just on it’s own as an aperitif.
