Description
The nose is layered and complex, with intense tropical aromas of papaya, melon and peach. On the palate, the wine is finely tuned and delicate, show casing a linear structure with great freshness. As light salinity on the finish enhances the tropical fruit notes, adding an intriguing dimension to the overall profile. This Chenin Blanc is a refined and sophisticated choice for those seeking a nuanced, balanced and elegant wine experience.
Food Pairing
The wine’s tropical flavours will complement seared scallops with a mango salsa. It will pair well with the rich flavours of grilled pork chops served with chutney. The slight salinity perfectly matches the bright, zesty flavours of shrimp ceviche. For a salad option, the delicate character of the wine pairs beautifully with the creamy texture of goat cheese and the peppery bite of arugula.
