Winemaker's Notes:

Chenin Blanc with it's bright aromatics and intense crispness can truly be one of the most enjoyable white wines particularly when fermentation is stopped before all the sugar is converted to alcohol. This years wine is sure to be hit at every summer patio party with its steely clean citrus nose and powerful grapefruit, apricot and melon flavors.

My Notes:
