Fruity and fun

Lovely wee quaffer. Probably a 3 star but worth an extra star for the price. Paid a lot more for a lot worse! Nice and fruity without that horrid acidity you often get from cheap whites

Good standard everyday dry white

This review is for the 2012 vintage

This dry white has a nice fruity taste that goes with lots of food or is equally as good on it's own. Recommended when it's at a sensible price.

We chose this wine in lieu of your South African Dry White Wine which unfortunately is no longer available to buy - This one is ok and good value for money but much prefer the old South African Dry White Wine

Not good for the price....

This wine is not the best quality and its packaging is pretty awful too - arrives in plastic and not even a box and the bottle itself looks cheap.

Don't buy - they'll be more for me!

This is a surprisingly good wine for everyday drinking and at a great price, although that’s creeping up. Crisp, clean and not too fruity – I’ve tasted Chablis at ten times the price that was no better. Leave some for me please.

I like good wines, and was sceptical baout purchasing this wine at such a low price, but it just goes to show, if you select carefully, you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy a glass of decent wine!
