Description:
Available May 05. Our Chenin Blanc was made in an off-dry styles that will match well with recipes that are either piquant or slightly sweet. This wine's flowery red apple and ripe cantaloupe-like flavors and easy drinkability make it a great selection for outdoor meals and picnic food. It’s also a delightful candidate for many cold composed salads and lighter pasta and rice dishes.

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'.
