Darling Cellars Reserve Arum Fields Chenin Blanc 2021

Subtle tropical fruit dominated by ripe yellow peaches, quince, guava and white pear on the nose. Elegant and well-balanced structure with loads of tropical fruit on the pallet and a fresh and crisp acidity followed by a lingering aftertaste.

A wine that will compliment fresh seafood and light spicy chicken salads.
