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!
