This is the stuff that reminds you that as the shadows grow longer, so too should the palate length. I have been punting the Paserene wines a lot, and I will continue to do so – they are delicious and everybody should have a couple of cases in their cellar. In addition, I should be espousing the virtues of some of Andrew Gunn’s chardonnays from Iona. They are such lovely wines and his single vineyard chardonnay bottlings, Fynbos and Kloof, are particularly desirable. I suppose I should check stock levels before telling you to pop into our online shop to buy some, as they are produced in tiny quantities and demand outweighs availability. But try - the worst that can happen is that you miss out on some of those particular wines, and you are led down a different wonderful path. Wildekrans and Groote Post both have delicious chenin blanc available in the online store. One way, or another, you owe yourself a few bottles of slightly more serious whites.
