The book also offers ten delicious recipes that dance perfect with Chenin Blanc's diversity; from sparkling sensations, crisp dry whites, oaked full-bodied delights, and sweet treasures with aging potential. Each pairing highlights the unique characteristics of the wine.

The South African name for Chenin Blanc is Steen. The grape plays a significant role in the country's wine industry, producing some of South Africa's finest white wines. Its versatility is prized worldwide and has resulted in the wine being a preferred choice and a wonderful match to an ocean of delicious dishes.

A Taste of Chenin Blanc is illustrated with beautiful and inspiring pictures, also for each recipe.
