Graham Beck Bowed Head Chenin Blanc 2008

Upfront tropical fruit, ripe pineapple, melon, peaches and honeysuckle flavours on the nose. Full and creamy palate with layers of ripe tropical fruit and spices complemented by a long clean and crisp aftertaste. Will mature for up to 3 years in the bottle.

Good company for Alfresco lunches. Also great with grilled chicken or fish, rich pasta dishes and spicy food.
