Critic Tim Atkin MW wrote that "for wine lovers, South Africa offers something special". And we couldn't agree more. Their dazzling whites continue to impress with premium quality, excellent value and all the fruit you could want. Reigning supreme has to be Queen Bee. This bright, luscious white is made at the Mount Rozier winery in Stellenbosch. There the cool vineyards only receive natural treatments and large areas of land are left uncultivated to encourage the local flora and fauna (including the Cape honey bee after which this wine is named). Crafted by the talented Leon Esterhuizen, this ripe blend of exotic fruit Viognier with a tasty dab of Chardonnay is causing quite the buzz with customers. Enjoy with spicy couscous or seafood.

"An excellent all-round white, rich with fresh stone fruit and citrus, with a touch of honeysuckle" Stecey Smith
