Delheim Chenin Blanc/Sauvignon Blanc 2003

The delicate fruit of Chenin Blanc enhances the natural crispness of the Sauvignon Blanc in this quality dry white blend. A charming, versatile wine with ripe, intense tropical aromas on the nose followed by hints of honey on the palate.

The perfect companion with picnics, cold meats, seafood and salads or simply on its own.
