Protea Chenin Blanc 2014

Name: Protea Chenin Blanc 2014
Brand: Protea
SKU: 35490

Green apricot, pear drop and tangerine fruit aromas vie for prominence on a somewhat shy nose. Appealing in its refreshing vibrancy, the mouth has ample tangy, crisp and lively nectarine and apricot flavours. The mid-palate is fleshed out by a gentle leesy fullness that adds an extra dimension as well as length.
