A stellar example of chenin blanc! The nose of this elegant white wine offers up aromas of citrus, peach and floral notes. The off dry palate is balanced and truly enticing. Mouth watering, fruit forward, flavors of citrus, apple cider and pear are abundant. The finish is pleasurably long. This is a perfect wine for the spring/summer season, and it pairs very well with fish and assorted BBQ creations.
