BoekenhoutskloofWestern Cape, South Africa
Why you'll love it
A great-value South African white blend from Boekenhoutskloof, combining Viognier, Chenin Blanc, and Grenache Blanc for complexity and freshness.
Bright and aromatic, with flavors of peach, lemon zest, nectarine, and a touch of spice. Balanced acidity and a smooth, clean finish.
Perfect with roast chicken, seafood, Thai dishes, or soft cheeses. Serve chilled.
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.
