Description
A curious case of classics, curiosities and all-round South African brilliance.
This month's Curious Case is a brisk circuit round the Cape's ever-intriguing wine scene. There's the old guard - a bright, breezy Sauvignon with a coastal accent, a barrel-fermented Chenin with a bit of texture and attitude, and that classic local combo of Cabernet and Merlot doing what it does best. There's also a rich, spicy red from a grape South Africa calls its own - you can probably guess the one.
But this wouldn't be a proper tour without a couple of detours. So we've thrown in a skin-contact white made from Grenache Gris - something you dont often see, and a crisp curveball from a Portuguese variety with a flair for freshness.
A mix of crowd-pleasers, offbeat gems and the kind of wines that explain why South Africa's firmly on the modern wine map - even if it doesn't always play by the rules.
