Zantsi Africa Natural Sweet White 2008

Pineapples and granadilla makes up the main components of this fruit salad nose and palate. A very nice balance between sugar, acidity and alcohol with no treacle effect. A lowly 8% alcohol makes this the perfect summer daytime drink!

The recent demarcation of the Darling district has led to a focus at Darling Cellars on wines which are terroir and varietal specific. The cool and temperate West Coast climate lends itself to a different micro- and mesoclimate which, along with the different types of soil, lead to unique grapes, which we guide into even more unique wines. Having 99% of all vineyards dry land and almost the same percentage as bush vine, this is as close to what nature intended for grapes to be as one can get.
