Description:
This Soft Chenin Blanc bursts with flavors of pear and ripe melon. Fermenting the juice in stainless steel tanks preserved the fresh fruit character of the grapes. It is finished sweet, but balanced with crisp acidity

Varietal Definition
Chenin Blanc:
Classic white varietal of France's Loire Valley and now grown throughout the world. Known for its rather unusual 'wet-wool', 'damp straw' aromas, it tends to be more floral than fruity when young and gives high acidity, growing well in marginal climates. It ages well and its susceptibility to 'botrytis'* produces some of the great sweet wines of the Loire, for example Quarts de Chaume and Vouvray. It is grown widely in South Africa where it is known as 'Steen'.
