I'll apparently be in RSA at the end of 2008, and in the Cape Town area in December. Any chance the Robertson Winery offers a tour? Barry: Thanks for stopping by!

The Robertson Winery Gewurtz has shown great success in the USA over a very short span of time, so much so that our Importer, The Indigo Wine Group - see www.indigowinegroup.com - has asked us to plant more Gewurtz to fulfill this growing wine US wine market. South Africa has a 350 year old track record of sound wine making, and are allrounders as far as other varietals go too. If you are looking for something different, try our Chenin Blanc, which is a fruit driven dry white wine and historically been one of the leading cultivars in SA winemaking. South Africa has more Chenin Blanc plantings than the Loire and rest of the world combined to give you an example of how serious we are about the grape! It has a unique flavour profile showing characteristics of quince, almond and fig notes supported by tropical fruit. We have a unique ‘terrior’, and now is the time to start experiencing South African wine. Think South Africa - Drink Robertson!

I asked my extremely knowledgeable for something exotic and reasonable to pair with spicy fresh mexican food and it was absolutely perfect. I know whites like this are usually served in narrow wine glasses but I recommend grabbing your largest cabernet or zin glass and enjoy the wonderful complex aroma.

I guess this might be the difference in climate and seasons of the production region. I wonder how the people behind this wine are making it so tasty.
