South Africa: New releases

This is a unique blend of Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and Viognier. In 2021, the wine features notes of clementines and fresh ginger spice on the nose and a melange of green apples and pears on the palate. It’s all held together by impressive acidity – brought by the Verdelho – and a beautiful texture. Donovan’s wines sometimes fly a little under the radar: with examples like this that really shouldn’t: this is one of the best whites you’ll try from South Africa.
