Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Chenin Blanc
Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Chenin Blanc
This wine displays a medium light straw hue in the glass with a green tinge and is made in a ripe tropical style with a split personality being elegant on the one hand but serious and bold on the other. Tropical flavours of ripe yellow peaches, white pear, a touch of vanilla blossoms, toast, butterscotch, orange skin and pineapple meet you on the nose, showcasing many layers as the wine opens up. Good structure and ripe fruit are well complimented by the wood and can definitely mature for another 10 years.
