De Waal Chenin Blanc 2019

This is a refreshing, crisp, unwooded Chenin Blanc. Produced from younger vineyards, this wine is easy-drinking and a perfect wine for lazy summer luncheons. This wine shows tropical flavours, such as pineapple, gooseberry and quince. The wine has a crispness on the fruit-driven palate, with a lingering fresh aftertaste.

It is lovely to enjoy on its own, or with light luncheons, grilled chicken, seafood salads and Asian dishes.
