Eikendal Cuvee Blanc 2012

The Eikendal Blanc well-balanced blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, with a lively acidity. The nose has a fruity fresh aroma with a touch of fresh, green notes. Careful blending has created a wine with youthful elegance and a crisp, refreshing finish. The lower alcohol on this wine makes for lovely drinking.

This wine is perfect to enjoy with a light salad, a picnic with summer fair, or just on its own as an aperitif.
