Waitrose Sustainable Chenin Blanc 2009

Name: Waitrose Sustainable Chenin Blanc 2009
Brand: Waitrose Sustainable
SKU: 25244

Sustainable viticulture with organic practices was followed during the last 8 years to create our first organic grown Chenin Blanc. This fine wine was made from grapes grown in the high altitude of the Cederberg Mountains. Not a single rotten berry was to be seen and every grape was hand selected. Cold fermentation & long lees contact has resulted in this fresh crisp Chenin. There are hints of tropical fruit, peaches, grape fruit & fresh citrus flavours with a rich creamy palate.

Enjoy with pasta, roasted chicken or fish with a cream based sauce.
