Cheap but not overly cheerful. Acidic and has that smell of garlic sausage and militant hangover that cheaper wines often have. Still its only R40 a bottle. Needs must when the devil just finished off the good wine.
Sauv /Chenin blend. Cheap and cheerful. Bit sharp to drink on its own, but good enough with food.
Smells like vanilla and marzipan, tastes like toffees. Would go well with an uncomplicated meal.
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!
