Backsberg Fifth Generation Gravel Road Chenin Blanc 2024

The juicy peach, pear, citrus blossom and mango aromas are mirrored on the palate and perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity.

Chenin Blanc is exceptionally versatile. It pairs well with salads, vegetables, fish and chicken. Hints of sweetness and a slightly fuller body ensure this wine complements both spicy and creamier dishes.
