This is the best South African wine I've had. (Out of maybe 10 in my 18 yrs as a wine lover.) Very enjoyable. The alcohol is excessive on the nose but not in the mouth.

Delectable Featured Wine

South Africa is home to some of the world's oldest Chenin vines, where it is commonly known by its moniker 'steen.' Made from 50+ year old bush vines, this is a bright, lean expression full of überfresh citrus, passionfruit and green herb notes.
