Chenin Blanc, Backsberg Estate 2008, Stellenbosch - $28 - Discontinued

Grapes:100% Chenin Blanc From:    S Africa, Stellenbosch Description: This hasn’t seen any oak barrels so it’s crisp and dry – there’s hints of pear, apple and cashew but all very subtle making this a great all round wine for those looking for dry and crisp!s Fact: The Chenin Blanc grape is the most widely planted white grape in South Africe – it originates from the Loire Valley in France  and is thought to have been brought here in 1685 by the Huguenots fleeing France!  Food Pairing: We’re still in the lighter range of our wines so I would stick to light dishes again although you could also this one would also blend well with the Cod with its XO sauce!
