NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This vibrant and lively Chenin Blanc from Millton Te Arai Vineyard offers a complex bouquet of yellow apple, pineapple, and apricot.On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and refreshing, with zesty citrus and tropical fruit flavors, balanced by a hint of minerality. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. A delicious and versatile white wine that pairs well with spicy food.
