KWV Chenin Blanc 2001

A very pale straw appearance with excellent varietal expressions. Very intense aromas, which range from country hay, floral, tropical fruit and apricots to spice. Plenty of ripe fruit flavours. The hints of residual sugar are well balanced by acidity. Fresh and lingering.
Serving suggestion: All fish dishes and grilled chicken, cheese soufflÃ©, seafood pasta and gammon.
