Chenin
distinctive
purity

Broom Ridge 2019 offers aromas of lime and straw on the nose, accompanied by notes of elderflower and aromatic herbs. Elegant and pure on the palate, it is slightly tangy and briny; it’s best to let it age for a few years to fully appreciate its potential. This 100% Chenin will pair beautifully with a delicious grilled fish dish!
