Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2023

Name: Cederberg Five Generations Chenin Blanc 2023
Brand: Cederberg Five Generations
SKU: 50575

A complex Chenin Blanc expressing pure fruit aromas, baked apples and delicate spice complemented by roasted almond and citrus notes. A great balance between fruit and oak with a creamy and lively finish.

White meats with a slightly nutty sauce. Cape ‘smoorsnoek’ also works well. Try mushroom risotto or butter chicken – both are winning combinations. Ravioli with burnt sage butter is the best. Delectable with gruyère
