Darling Cellars Gustus Chenin Blanc

Darling Cellars Gustus Chenin Blanc
This is an example of what a Darling Chenin Blanc can produce. Wine with multiple layers of fresh green apple, guava, quince and yellow ripe peaches. Lees and skin contact add a creaminess to the wine that leaves a lingering mouthfeel, wishing for more.
