Cask Series Chenin Blanc

Cask Series Chenin Blanc Wine Details
Price: $8.99 per bottle

Description: This wine is the perfect match for light fish, poultry and salads. Crafted especially for everyday enjoyment, this wine has just a bit of residual sugar without being sweet. Just enough balancing acidity keeps you tasting the grapes and not the sugar. Melon and guava are the fruits that come to mind when tasting this off-dry beauty. Great with a picnic, as an aperitif, or at a summer barbeque.

Varietal Definition
Chenin Blanc:
Classic white varietal of France's Loire Valley and now grown throughout the world. Known for its rather unusual 'wet-wool', 'damp straw' aromas, it tends to be more floral than fruity when young and gives high acidity, growing well in marginal climates. It ages well and its susceptibility to 'botrytis'* produces some of the great sweet wines of the Loire, for example Quarts de Chaume and Vouvray. It is grown widely in South Africa where it is known as 'Steen'.
