MBALI 2023 Chenin Blanc/Viognier blend

Light golden hue with a touch of green and big bouquet of juicy, ripe pears, vanilla.

Palate--Lack luster first impression with a lazy profile, but loads of off dry pears and green melon and a pleasant slightly bitter mid palate which is endearing. It finishes fresh with a pleasant linger.

This delightful S. African creation is Chenin Blanc and Viognier (pronounced Vee oh Nyay!)

Lovely Chenins come out of S. Africa and have for years. This one is delicious and chilled down is a terrific aperitif on a hot summer day but I will be pairing it with my wife's homemade Swiss chard soup.

Raise a glass!
