{"product_id":"ashton-winery-chenin-blanc-2025","title":"Ashton Winery Chenin Blanc 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlike many Chenin Blancs at this price point, this bottle avoids obvious oak and exaggerated sweetness. That gives it a cleaner, more site driven profile. For buyers comparing South African whites, it offers more shape than a light refreshment style, but less weight than an oak heavy wine. It is a practical pick for Kenya because it delivers texture, freshness, and food compatibility in one bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"tasting-notes\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe nose opens with quince, yellow apple, and white peach. Then honeycomb, chamomile, and a light beeswax note come forward. On the palate, the wine begins brisk and clean, but the lees texture quickly rounds it into a medium weight feel. Pear, green apple, and a hint of ginger carry through the middle. The finish is dry, saline, and edged with lemon peel and crushed shell. That mineral line keeps the wine lively as the fruit broadens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"food-pairing--occasion-context\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe 13% ABV and textured mid palate make this wine a strong match for grilled prawns with lemon butter, roast chicken with tarragon, goat cheese tart, mushroom risotto, and pan seared scallops. The acidity cuts richness, while the lees texture gives it enough presence for more substantial dishes. It works especially well at a Nairobi lunch where the menu may include both seafood and poultry. Serve chilled at 8 to 10°C for the best balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mbuziwines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47929247334589,"sku":null,"price":1575.0,"currency_code":"KES","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5092\/6013\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-31at7.46.03AM.png?v=1785473171","url":"https:\/\/thewinecontainer.com\/products\/ashton-winery-chenin-blanc-2025","provider":"The Wine Container","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
