The wine has a pale straw colour with a green tinge. Intense aromas of tropical fruit is well supported by an elegant vanilla and nutty bouquet. The palate is rich and vibrant with layers of sundried fruits and a citrus hint. The rich and ripe flavours are in perfect harmony with the zesty minerality.

Serve this delightful Chenin with rich seafood dishes such as seared Tuna with balsamic reduction, flame grilled line fish with lemon butter and grilled vegetable or West Coast mussels in a creamy white wine sauce.
