This most attractive dry white wine has become a best-seller. A blend of 75% Chenin Blanc and 25% Chardonnay it is lightly oaked and has tempting citrus and guava flavours. It is a clean, bright, young wine with a full, rich body and a lingering finish.  It will complement most fish dishes, also chicken and creamy pastas.

The name Arniston Bay is taken from the British East Indiaman, the Arniston, which sank there in a storm with the loss of 372 lives.
