Backsberg Chenin Blanc

This Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape region is very fruity. Its bouquet is characterised by exotic notes of pineapple, melon and peach, complemented by aromas of pears, green apple and cashews. The white wine from South Africa is impressively fresh on the palate, with a fine, balanced acidity and a lovely depth.

You’ll enjoy discovering the Backsberg Chenin Blanc with fresh salads, vegetables, fish or chicken. The subliminal sweetness and the medium body make this white wine an ideal accompaniment to spicy and creamy dishes.
