A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: From a celebrated boutique producer who offers \"South African wines with a French flair,\" this delivers plenty of ripe apple, grapefruit and lime flavours in a fresh, creamy package. The touch of bitterness on the close seals the deal quite nicely. If you're grilling salmon or chicken this summer, have a bottle of this at the ready. (Vintages panel, June 2017) |
