Rietvallei Chenin Blanc paired with Prawns in Red Thai Curry

Take some inspiration from our Chef Elizabeth Burger for this year’s Festive Season. Pair the Rietvallei Chenin Blanc 2016 with Red Thai Curry Prawns.

Rietvallei Chenin Blanc 2016

This is a dry but fruity Chenin Blanc with intense aromas of dried apple, fresh citrus and a touch of oak spice. The palate is rich and creamy with a firm but balanced acidity, complemented with a lingering aftertaste that seem to last forever.

Our Chenin Blanc is the perfect dinner partner and should be paired for with seafood or poultry dishes.
