Asian on the menu? Try pairing with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling.

Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 35 dollars per bottle.

Quinta Essentia Chenin Blanc

A deep yellow color suggests full ripeness and complexity. Aromas of baked pear, ripe apple, hints of fresh citrus and roasted nuts are present on a complex and layered nose. The palate is richly textured revealing pineapple, tropical fruits and golden delicious apple. The finish is long complemented by a firm acidity that gives the wine length and focus.Pair this wine alongside grilled fish and seafood in general.
