Lievland Vineyards, Chenin Blanc
This wine is representative of the versatility of old vine Chenin Blanc. It has a light straw color with a golden hue. Showing notes of white peach, citrus and pineapple on the nose, this wine has a rich and ripe mouthfeel coupled with vibrant acidity which contributes to the lingering zesty finish. The freshness and complexity of this wine will enable it to develop gracefully over the next 5 -7 years. This Chenin can easily be enjoyed on its own, but can also complement dishes such as smoked pork, Cape Malay bobotie, or creamy seafood.
