Backsberg Chenin Blanc 2015

The wide array of aromatic characters include pear, green apple and cashew.Ripe fruit is tempered by finely balanced acidity to give a mouth-filling, yet refreshing, palate.

Chenin Blanc is exceptionally versatile.It pairs well with salads, vegetables, fish and chicken. Hints of sweetness and as lightly fuller body allow it to compliment both spicy and creamy dishes.
