Vouvray, Loire A.C., France
An off-dry Vouvray Chenin Blanc with a lovely nose of ripe peach, white florals and mineral notes. So completely spring-fresh. Ripe peach, quince and white florals on the palate as well matched with a vibrant acidity. Balanced right across the board. Chill and enjoy with mildly-spiced seafood dishes.
