Beau Joubert Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2012

A complex barrel fermented dry Chenin Blanc offering zesty citrus and vivacious tropical flavours following onto a soft, subtle and creamy oak spice. This lightly wooded Chenin spent 3 months in small oak barrels during which time the age-old technique of battonage was practiced weekly.

Subtle and silky tannins, along with fresh, balanced acid make this wine a must for fish, light meat and spicy dishes, although it is equally impressive on its own.
