There’s never been a better time to buy South African wine. Quality is at an all time high and the exchange rate is favourable. Mind you, De Wet Lategan has delivered refreshment, flavour and value year after year with his bestselling White River Chenin Blanc, and this 2017 edition is the best yet. It’s from his family’s Bergsig Estate, between the Breede River and the Du Toitskloof Mountains and inland from the super premium Stellenbosch region. Bursting with lively, ripe pear, apple and tropical fruit flavour, White River captures the beauty and wildness of this unspoilt location, with the addition this year of a gentle creaminess and extra fruit, thanks to 10% oak-aged Chardonnay. A delicious pairing with chicken or spicy Thai dishes.

"We’re delighted by this anniversary white. The wine is fruitier and fresher than ever" Kirsten Willis
