Day 20

Back to South Africa with another fun Lubanzi label

 

Lubanzi Chenin Blanc

As you may remember, Lubanzi is known for producing wines that highlight the country’s rich viticulture and they’ve become particularly popular for offering sustainable, approachable options.  This wine comes in a 250ml can, which is about a third of a bottle, making it a perfect size for individual servings or outdoor activities.  It’s made with recyclable aluminum and is a more eco-conscious alternative to glass bottles, reducing the overall carbon footprint associated with transportation and production.

 

The Lubanzi Chenin Blanc is crisp, refreshing, and fruit-forward.  Notes of bright citrus, green apple, and a touch of pineapple and melon round out the palate. It’s vibrant with a nice balance of acidity and a smooth finish, making it easy-drinking and food-friendly.

 

Pair this with lighter fare like ceviche, a roasted pear and Gorgonzola salad, or a ham and Swiss baguette.

Serve cold, straight from the fridge.
