Thank the good lord that the winemakers at Buitenverwachting possess more persistence than I do because this was their third attempt at a Viognier, or so the story goes. Less floral than your average SA Viognier, but the same great flavour. Loses a mark for the price though. I assume we’re paying for the previous two attempts?
I am not a wine expert. I am not in the wine industry. I can get a bit pretentious when describing wine sometimes, and other times I can't think of a word to describe what I'm tasting. I do love wine, drink a lot of it, live in the Western Cape of South Africa and visit a lot of wine farms though.
Hopefully this site will help strangers to SA wine pick a good bottle over a bad one, and visit the better wine farms that I've enjoyed. At worst, at least I will be able to use it to remember what is was I was drinking last night!
