A Hope - realised.

From the Cape of Good Hope, this crisp, fresh South African is a delight. It's a realisation that the old traditions of Fruit-farming have been put to good use when using modern techniques and systems. This well-produced, vibrant wine is lovely with grilled Fish, with Seafood in general as well as proving a capable companion to white meats.

We drink a lot of Sauvignon , mainly from New Zealand . This wine was harsh and uninspiring and shows you get what you pay for.

This was pointless! The only word I can use to describe it. No nose, no depth, no distinguishing tastes.

I felt this wine would go nicely with chips. It has a real taste of vinegar. It was really cheap at £3, so I shouldn't have expected much. Its not bad if you cook with it or if drinking it add a drop of brandy to take away the acidity. Will never buy again
Disappointing

I found it slightly acidic and lacking body or any deep flavour. I was drinking it on its own and perhaps with food the taste would have been less noticeable.

This is this years wine, and it has a freshness that is appealing, . The Alc.11.5% is just right for lunchtime. It benefits from a screwcap. If you enjoy South African wine, you will enjoy this. Oh ! and Tesco has it at a good price, delivered to your door
