Description:
Our Chenin Blanc is known for its inviting aromas of pear and white peach with a hint of beeswax and honey. To the palate this off-dry wine brings flavors of melon and pear while the balance of bright fruit and zesty acidity keeps the wine refreshing. Even “non-wine drinkers” have been known to fall in love with the Husch Chenin Blanc.

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'.
