  4. Texture: Silky smooth on the palate, with a lovely weight that coats the mouth in richness without overwhelming.
  5. Finish: The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of sun-kissed fruit and a subtle hint of floral perfume.

Pairing Suggestions: This Chenin Blanc pairs exquisitely with a variety of dishes, including seafood platters, grilled chicken salads, and creamy pasta dishes. Its versatility also makes it an ideal companion for casual gatherings or leisurely afternoons on the patio.

Winemaking Process: Sourced from meticulously tended vineyards, the grapes for this Chenin Blanc are handpicked at optimal ripeness to ensure maximum flavor expression. Following gentle pressing, the juice undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s inherent freshness and fruit-forward character. A brief period of aging on the lees imparts complexity and texture before bottling, resulting in a wine that captures the essence of the Drift Estate terroir.
