Wine:
Happy Dragon Chenin Blanc 2010
Origin:
Darling
Varietal:
100% Chenin Blanc
Vintage:
2010
Tasting note:
The wine that tamed the thirst of a goat-eating dragon is reminiscent of the easy-going, refreshing wines of the Mediterranean. Generous fruit and zippy acidity make this a wine for sipping or supping.
Great with goat!
