Chenin Blanc from South Africa: Graham Beck Game Reserve Chenin Blanc 2008


Up-front tropical fruit, ripe pineapple, melon, peaches and honey flavors on the nose. Full and juicy palate with layers of ripe tropical fruit complemented by a long clean and crisp finish. Good company for alfresco lunches of grilled chicken or fish, rich pasta dishes and spicy food.

From dry-farmed bush vines that are more than 40 years old, this chenin offers intriguing flavors of hawthorne and honey. There's a grassy, green cut to the acidity, keeping it frisky and fresh. For roast veal or chicken.
