A lively South African white from old bush vines in the Western Cape, blended to bring together the region’s classic white varieties in a fresh, flavourful way. The fruit is hand harvested from sandy, granitic soils where the strong Southern sun helps it reach full ripeness without irrigation or heavy crop manipulation.
On the nose there’s jasmine and white stone fruit with a hint of citrus. The palate is crisp and vibrant, showing juicy, fleshy fruit with a nuanced citrus edge and a clean, tangy finish. A small part of the blend sees a touch of old barrel ageing, and the wine spends extra time on fine lees to add palate weight without losing freshness.
This is straightforward, easy to enjoy and versatile at the table. It’s dry, bright and refreshing rather than overly rich, and it works well with simple seafood, salads, lighter poultry dishes or just on its own on a warm evening.
Food Pairing
Seafood, summer salads, grilled chicken or lemon-dressed veg.

More Information
South Africa
South African wine has a history dating back to 1659 with the first bottle being produced in Cape Town by its founder and governor Jan van Riebeeck.
South Africa is located at the tip of Africa with its wine regions located near the coastal influences of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. These regions have a mostly Mediterranean climate that is marked by intense sunlight and dry heat.
JD was destined to be a winemaker. Whilst pregnant, his mother helped in the family winery, enriching JDs formative senses. His earliest memories are of the “floral aromas in the winery while the fermentations were happening”. JD always wanted to be a winemaker and it all came so naturally whilst helping his father in their Paarl winery.
Enjoyed the wine whilst on holiday thought I would try it in my own environment and found it as good will definitely re order more such easy drinking wine .

Being from a South African family I thought I'd try this - primarily (don't judge) because it had a beautiful label and it came from a region I know. It's a lovely wine and will definitely be bought again.

Another favourite of mine, and another that won Paul's approval, coming a slight second to False Bay. Sadly, Dan doesn't deliver to Texas.
Neither do I.
