Smokkelman White South Africa 2023Smokkelman White is a confident, textural blend that brings together some of the Western Capes finest vineyard sites. 30% of the wine is aged on its lees in old French oak for seven months, adding depth, texture and savoury nuance while preserving freshness. A beautifully balanced white that marries richness with energy, equally at home on its own or at the table. The blend combines Sauvignon Blanc from Stellenbosch, Chenin Blanc from Franschhoek,

A real delight that would pair equally well with a lasagna or a rib-eye steak
