Stark-Condé

A truly captivating blend of 4 varietals grown from one of Stellenbosch's oldest single vineyards. Highly perfumed in the glass with layers of floral & tropical fruit notes. Roussanne and Viognier add richness and texture, while Chenin Blanc and Verdelho add bright fruit and acidity. The wine is delicately oaked, and handled as carefully and naturally as possible. A true delight that is consistently among the best received South African white wines.
