Douglas Green Vineyard Creations Chenin Blanc 2016

Pale gold with a vibrant green glow. Exuberant passion fruit, ripe peaches and pineapple on first impression embellished with honey suckle grace that carries through to a generous yet well tempered palate packed ripe fruit flavours freshened up by a tangy citrus acidity on the finish.

An easy drinking white that is fresh and fruity. Great served well chilled for social enjoyment and absolutely delicious with sushi or shellfish as well as roast chicken pie or macaroni cheese.
