FMC Chenin Blanc

This is made by a chap who took the grape seriously when most around him were using it to make cheap and not-always-cheerful whites in South Africa. And it’s seriously good. Aged in oak barrels, adding brioche and vanilla flavours to the natural honeysuckle character of the grape. It’s rich but not OTT, with plenty of flavour and freshness to match the mash up of flavours on a plate of turkey and all the trimmings. If you don’t want to spend as much but want a taste of Chenin, the Tesco Finest Chenin Blanc comes from the same producer and is a snip at £6 a bottle.
