Niel Joubert Chenin Blanc 2004

Courtesy of Dave Hughes
Attention grabbing nose packed with fresh, ripe tropical notes with delightful mingle of citrus, guava and granadilla. Delicious in the mouth with ever-so-lively tingle, yet ultra smooth across the palate. Clean zingy finish. Beware the 15% alcohol as it drinks just too easily!
