Really delicious with Thai red curry. If you’re looking to mix up your off-dry Riesling + spicy food go-to, this Chenin is the answer!

Classic example of why I love the Loire. Incredible value for an elegant, brightly acidic chenin with stone fruit and a long honey finish.

Full body rich and complex. Strong Apple and pear notes with high acidity but pleasant sugar to balance.

Lemon, Gravel, Pineapple, Yogurt on the nose. It’s off dry. Medium bodied and acidic up front but mellowing on the end. Coconut and citrus on the pallet. Really great wine at a great value.
