VARIETAL:

VINTAGE:
2024

MORE INFORMATION:
This wine opens with an intensely tropical nose, featuring passion fruit, bright citrus notes of orange, lime, and kumquat, and layers of yellow and white peach, with subtle hints of quince and a refreshing mineral finish. On the palate, it is smooth and juicy, leading into a rich mid-palate with hints of fruit sweetness highlighting notes of orange zest, white pear, delicate spice, and a saline-mineral undertone. Balanced and well-integrated with lively acidity, it leaves a lasting impression of mandarin, floral hints, and spice, with the potential to age beautifully for up to 3 years.

This vibrant Chenin Blanc pairs well with lighter fare like lightly smoked or grilled chicken salads, or even fresh fish but will do well when matched with richer, creamier seafood dishes too. Best served chilled
