Escape Chenin Blanc 2004

Pale straw colour with a green tinge. A nose of summer melon and tropical fruit with a hint of spice. Crisp, clean, bright and medium bodied, with a lingering aftertaste. Drinking well now.

Serve at 12 â€“ 15Â°C. An ideal summer wine to be enjoyed next to the pool with cold meats and salads or fresh line fish. A perfect picnic wine.
