Winemaker's Notes:
The 2011 bottling of this distinctive blend
opens with a dazzling spectrum of fruit and
floral aromas, from crisp white peach,
honeyed pear and sweet mango, to touches
of fresh jasmine blossom and white chai
tea. Filled with bright and juicy fruits, the
palate flaunts flavors of succulent white
nectarine, candied pineapple, green fig and
subtle grapefruit. The crisp and slightly
off-dry flavor profile lasts well through the
clean and refreshing finish.
With its balanced acidity, this versatile
wine pairs well with a number of dishes,
from light salads to seafood to, most
notably, foods with a hint of spiciness —
its subtle sweetness provides balance
alongside a touch of heat. Try Chenin
Blanc + Viognier with a flavorful Thai curry,
a sushi dish, such as a spicy tuna roll,
or seared halibut. |
