This delicious blend of 60% Chenin and 40% Sauvignon really works, as the soft, honey-tinged Chenin provides some breadth and roundness on the palate, whereas the grassy, citrus character of the Sauvignon provides linear energy to the midpalate and cut to the finish. A delightful sipping wine that will also do well with many foods.
