Its versatility extends to a wide range of food
dishes
Many wine drinkers tend to buy wine for immediate enjoyment. Fresh young Chenin
Blanc wines answer this call admirably. These
wines have seductive fresh fruit and delicate floral aromas and a
host of fruit salad flavours, sometimes apple or melon, apricot,
guava and pineapple, all backed by firm, crisp, natural acidity that
make Chenin Blanc wines so perfectly balanced.
Oak introduces a great complexity of flavours and a richer mouth
feel. Chenin Blanc rewards lengthy bottle maturation. The colour
deepens to a gorgeous straw-gold, and honey and nuts are added to
the palette of flavours.
Chenin Blanc's versatility extends to the range of food dishes
with which it can be paired.
