Opposite to standard perception – and if the 20 wines chosen listed here are something to go by – you may style terroir by means of the lens of a mix. In South Africa’s case, white cuvées are essentially the most clear, with imaginative winemakers constructing an image of place from a variety of various grapes, websites and strategies.
For the tasting to make this choice, I referred to as in white blends from throughout the nation and ended up sampling greater than 60 examples, most of which scored above 90 factors.
