Mostly Chenin Blanc with touches of Roussanne, Viognier and Semillon. Light straw color. Aromas of freshly washed laundry, white flowers and wet slate. Palate features unripe peach, green apple, green melon, beeswax and a touch of lemon. A pleasant “woolly” texture, nice balance, clean finish and medium bodied. Very interesting.

Qvevri is a large amphora! Big dark fruit bouquet. Soft dark fruit up front. And then a burst of that Zinfandel pepper in the middle. Finishes with an earthiness. You can taste the separate layers! At Bandana’s African Wine Tasting. I had this with a roasted duck bobotie which matched perfectly! — 8 months ago

André and Neeta brought it with them. Nice and slightly sweet. — 5 years ago
Wow! Star bright, coppery straw in color. Big, bosomy nose of white flowers, golden apple, and white peach. All of this echoed in layers on the medium-full-bodied palate with medium acidity and a long, spiced apple finish. Not your grandmother’s PG. There’s some real substance and complexity here making this a great upscaling of everyone’s go-to white. Pasta with Alfredo sauce? Roasted chicken? Special occasion? Go here if you can’t get to Avondale! — 6 years ago
