Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap Viognier Chenin Blanc Grenache Blanc 2011

Western Cape, South AfricaI thought it would be tough to beat last year's mix but wine maker Marc Kent easily topped last year's effort blending mostly viognier with chenin blanc and the secret weapon super fresh grenache blanc. So bright and floral with juicy, watermelon, honey, white peach, ginger, citrus aromas. The attack is fresh with peachy viognier fruit leading and the brighter, more electric chenin and grenache supporting underneath. Modern, sophisticated South African white wine that is miles from the smoky, burnt rubber reds that dominate the shelves here killing brand South Africa. Great value.
