Domaine de Vaufuget Vouvray 2011
What is in this bottle? It's a terrific white wine from the Loire Valley in France. It is made
of 100% Chenin Blanc and is slightly off dry (meaning there is a hint of sweetness).
Reminiscent of "Spring in a glass" with aromas & flavours of golden delicious apples, quince
and a touch of honey. A great partner with Indian & Thai food - it can hold up nicely to a
little bit of spice!
Food match: Veggie or Beef Samosas, Butter Chicken, Pad Thai, and Fish & Chips
Cheese match: Goat Cheese = Valencay & Chabichou Du Poitou
Enclosure: cork
CSPC: +713555
