Boland Chenin Blanc 2003

This is the most widely planted variety in South Africa, but was left forgotten as a good table wine variety for many years until recently. From the cool slopes of the Paardeberg mountain with its granite origin soil and the Paarl Valley area with its duplex soils comes this crisp dry wine, with its lingering flavours of guava and tropical fruit.
