Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2006
Varietal: Chenin Blanc
Vineyard: Mulderbosch
Region: South Africa, South Africa
Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2007!
Pale yellow in color with a hint of green. On the nose, tinned pineapples, guavas, litchi, lemon and lime aromas are abundant. A clean, lively wine with nuances of nutmeg and cloves. Well-balanced and elegant, but with weight and a powerful follow-through on the palate. Stylistically off-dry and lightly oaked, this is an excellent food wine.
Partner with shellfish; grilled tuna; grilled sardines; lemon and herb roast chicken; vegetable stews; Bobotie – South African/Malay dish of baked savory mince served with saffron rice; and biltong.
"Superfresh and racy, with a great underlying minerality driving the chamomile, white peach and honeysuckle flavors, followed by a long, bright finish. Really delicious."
