The Wine
Franschhoek is the culinary capital of South Africa - perhaps because of the influence of the French Huguenots who settled there in the 17th century. This white is from a top cellar in the region, and was created to honour the contribution of these immigrants to the country's wine industry. Young winemaker Richard Duckitt began his career in Stellenbosch, and quickly showed a flair for his craft during his first year at the Muratie Wine Estate before going on to gain valuable experience in the world renowned Stags Leap District in Napa Valley. He crafted this fine Chenin Blanc using a special yeast to slow fermentation, and matured it on its fine lees for a nutty complexity. A perfect partner for foil-baked white fish or spicy Thai dishes.
