Foreign Friends Chenin Blanc 2025

Share

A postage stamp from cool climate Victoria, this brings the rustling leaves of apple trees into light with white pear, lime blossom and a hint of honeydew melon. Some celery salt salinity, long driving acidity and some cut raw fennel. A crunchy wine befitting for crystal prawns or clams eaten from the shell. This is lively and will give you the little pick me up, you’ve been waiting for. Drink now or within 3-4 years.
