AA Badenhorst "Secateurs" Chenin Blanc
South Africa, Swartland
White, Still
Pairing Idea: Warm climate chenin blanc
Not as a match but as a contrast. The wine is very dry and saline even though it starts out fruit driven on the nose. The pairing result is dry and saline with a bit of tannin on the finish. It cleans up the crab richness. Can't say it's great.
