Chabivin Cuvee Jean-Michel 2008

Parcels of the Cape’s finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were sourced and blended together in equal parts, where after it spent 4 years in bottle prior to degorgement to attain its distinctive character. Kiwi, pomegranate and mélange of citrus aromas radiate on the bouquet, while the palate of ginger, citrus, caramel and flecks of liquorice tantalize the taste buds. Liquid poetry personified!
