Avondale 'Anima' - Chenin Blanc

This 2017 wine is a 100% Chenin Blanc hailing from Paarl, South Africa. The land where Avondale stands has been dedicated to growing wine grapes for over three centuries. After a major fire in 2000, owners John and Ginny Grieve rebuilt and sustainably optimized the land. This well - crafted Chenin Blanc offers a complex flavor profile with melon, peach, and gooseberry notes, balanced by gentle honey and mineral undertones. It pairs perfectly with creamy sauces, roasted poultry, and earthy vegetable dishes.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes. Serve it at a cool temperature, around 50 - 55°F (10 - 13°C). This wine is best consumed within a few days after opening. Keep it in a cool, dark place when not in use. When pairing, it goes really well with creamy sauces, roasted poultry, and earthy vegetable dishes as described. Just have fun experimenting with different food combinations to find your favorite match.
