South African White Wines
South Africa is producing excellent white wine with styles and varieties growing ever greater in number. Stellenbosch is at the heart with Waterkloof Estate on the Helderberg producing a range of excellent Sauvignon Blanc. The Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer of Delheim Estate rival Rustenberg with its Roussanne and Chardonnay for value for money. Further afield, Bouchard Finlaysom create a range of crisp white from Walker Bay, the “Blanc de Mer” matching up well to our delicious Dorset shellfish. Along the coast at Cape Agulhus Lands End produce superb Sauvignon Blanc reminiscent of fine Pouilly Fume. Chenin Blanc excels in the hands of Paul Boutinot with False Bay and the Goats do Roam blend from Charles Back must be tasted to be believed!

Stunning stuff from the Swartland's sandy soils. This wine is alive! Prime Cuts is a sensational white. You're immediately attracted by the jasmine, lemon flowers, bright and citrusy overtones on the nose. The palate is a bright, textural thing of joy that reflects the sandy soils of its terroir. Packed with tangy fruits and blossom notes. Masses of bright bang on the finish, this is such a more-ish wine -

Bready aromas and dried herbaceous notes, including fennel and aniseed dominate the nose, followed by a creamy lemon character. The palate is reminiscent of the nose, with great textural complexity, attributable to the long, slow wild yeast fermentation. -

A low yielding site in Robertson produces the 100% Chardonnay needed for this excellent wine. A tiny amount of oak but this wine is really about the bright mineral fruit and acidity. -

this wine has a striking, pale lime colour. The nose has pronounced tropical aromas of guava, passion fruit and melon with an interesting floral, potpourri twist. On the palate you can enjoy white peach, kiwi fruit and pink lady apple, underpinned by a delightful flinty freshness and delicate citrus finish. Full and fresh. -

The wine has a delicate, pale straw colour with a slight green edge. It displays an aromatic kaleidoscope, rich with perfumed peach blossom, white pear, passion fruit and lime. These wonderful aromas prevail on the palate with added guava, pineapple, potpourri and a hint of nettle. The roundness of the palate is perfectly balanced by a steely mineral zest and enjoyable long finish. -

A ripe, open nose with white peach, apricots and hints of jasmine flowers. The palate shows texture and generosity from the old bush vine Chenin, veiled with white spice and exotic notes from the younger, alluring Grenache Blanc, the whole ultimately finishing rich, yet fresh and textural. -

The nose has an immediate attack of lemongrass and grapefruit with notes of hay and fennel. The palate has a rich textural mouthfeel of lanolin and waxy lemons. Pithy, affermatively tart with bright acidity this would be a joyous accompaniment to oily fish or green curries.
