Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc 2017

A light, crisp, dry wine that is fruit driven and juicy. Unwooded and refreshing
with lovely guava, pineapple and winter melon flavours rounded off with a hint of fresh
green figs and Packham pear undertones.

Serve with salads, yellow fruits, vegetable dishes and light fish dishes, or simply on its own.
