Reina de la Vendimia Chenin 2007

Freshly sliced apple and citrus-flavoured Chenin Blanc made by Rodolfo Sadler - one of Argentina's top winemakers. The wine itself is named in honour of the annual Vendimia, or harvest festival, when thousands of dancers group together to celebrate the grape harvest in an open air theatre in Mendoza - Argentinia's 'city of wine'.

At the end of the night, into the small hours, the voting takes place for the year's Harvest Queen - "La Reina de la Vendimia". Our buyer Thomas, who was there this year, says "it's probably the biggest vintage festival in the world!"

Grown in high altitude vineyards, the grapes are seriously concentrated - the warm days and cool nights in the Andes help retain the crisp fruit flavours. Pale yellow in the glass, with light apple and citrus aromas, Delicate and just off dry, but with a wonderfully refreshing, crisp finish. A fantastic match for white fish or seafood dishes. One to impress your guests with!
