Blank BottleWestern Cape, South Africa
Why you'll love it
A cult favorite from South Africa's most unconventional winemaker. It's serious, delicious, and wildly original.
Deep yellow with large tears. Rich complex nose with lots of everything: white fruits, herbs, dried flowers, honeycomb. Powerful taste, structured texture with a perfect balance. Strong character, deep minerally with a lot of fruit.
Roast chicken, grilled halibut, or creamy veggie pastas. It's versatile enough to handle spice, herbs, or richness.
Best known in Loire Valley, South Africa
A brilliant shape-shifter. Bone-dry, off-dry, sweet or sparkling, always with vivid acidity running through it. Apple, quince, honey and a waxy texture, with the best examples from the Loire and South Africa ageing gracefully for many years.
Best known in Southern Rhône, Roussillon
The white version of Grenache. Rich and rounded, with green apple, pear and fresh herbs, and enough body to stand up to food. A key part of white blends in the Southern Rhône and Roussillon, where it adds weight and gentle fruit.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Languedoc
An aromatic Rhône white grape. Apricot, peach and honeysuckle, with a rich, almost oily texture and fairly low acidity. It is the grape of Condrieu, and in Côte-Rôtie a little is sometimes added to Syrah for perfume.
South Africa
South Africa's wine heartland, encompassing everything from the cool coastal valleys to the warmer inland sites. Extraordinarily diverse in climate and soil: a single appellation that contains multitudes — from delicate Elgin Pinot to muscular Swartland reds.
