The Gooseberry Bush 2017
Robertson WO
It’s easy to see why The Gooseberry Bush has been a customer favourite for several years now. It’s that leap out of glass, grassy fresh, citrusy aroma, with just as much vibrant pizzazz on the taste. A triumph each vintage from Bon Courage.

The Wine
Bon Courage is one of Robertson’s most highly acclaimed wineries and The Gooseberry Bush has a hugely loyal following. Just shows, whites of explosive fruity appeal are by no means the unique preserve of New Zealand! Nestled between the Breede River and the Langeberg Mountains, Bon Courage has been run by the Bruwer family since 1921. Each year they win accolades aplenty, including ‘Best Producer’ at the 2013 Novare South African Terroir Wine Awards. Previously their 2009 Gooseberry Bush secured a ‘Best White Blend’ Trophy, and each vintage since has been pretty remarkable, too. This one’s fresh and racy thanks to grassy, kiwi fruit scented Colombard and a dash of lemony Sauvignon. A great party white or partner to spicy stir-fry or salad.
"Probably the easiest drinking white wine I’ve ever drunk – would recommend to anyone"
