Profile

This dry Chenin Blanc shows surprising savory character. On the nose, green herbs and stony minerality are balanced out by refreshing lemon zest and tart green apple. On the palette, the fruits are mellow and ripe.

	Low High
TANNIN	Tannins lend a drying, cottony feeling in your mouth – similar to black tea. The more integrated the tannins, the more they support and enhance the wine's flavors.
SWEETNESS	The amount of sugar left over in the wine, after the fermentation process. For food pairing, typically less sugar is better.
BODY	How full or concentrated the wine feels in your mouth. Fuller-bodied wines also tend to have higher alcohol content.
ACIDITY	Acidity is the unifying element that makes nearly every food or beverage taste good; it's the tanginess that makes your mouth water for more. Generally the more acid in a wine, the better it pairs with food.
APPEARANCE	Straw

Pairing

A savory white wine with some weight is just what you need to stand up to rich foods. Try pairing this with a mac n’ cheese or creamy pasta - the acidity will cut through the creaminess.

TASTING TIP

Notice the way this wine feels in your mouth. That lush, creamy texture is one of the reasons that Chenin Blanc is adored by wine lovers.
