Chenin Blanc Icewine VQA, Stoney Ridge 2006

This rare Chenin Blanc Icewine is an exotic masterpiece. Intensely golden in colour, it bursts with aromas of dried figs and lychee nut laced with ginger. The naturally crisp acidity balances the warm layers of mango and spiced honey flavours that finish with verve. A distinctive dessert wine to enjoy on its own or pair with sharp cheeses, fresh fruit or dried fruit desserts.
