My favourite SA white wine? Probably the Sumaridge Chardonnay, or Kleine Zalze Bush Vines Chenin.

As a previous poster mentioned, the Raats unwooded Chenin is unbelievable.

I liked it enough that I want to explore other gruners, but not enough to buy more of that one. But unfortunately being in the middle of the country, as you pointed out, means its harder to find them locally. qotd: 2006 josef ehmoser gruner veltliner is the best and worst austrian wine i’ve had as it’s the only austrian wine I’ve had.
