Fynbos Suid Wines
Our mission is to shape your fine dining experience through South Africa's exceptional heritage viticulture. We are - in every sense - deeply rooted in the natural diversity and beauty of South Africa. We express this philosophy with our name and our designs, to enjoy the richness and colourfulness of South African dining culture in your home. Fynbos (Afrikaans pronounced Feyn-bos) is a heathland vegetation and only occurs in the coastal and mountainous regions of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces. In this floral kingdom grow the conspicuous Protea (known as sugarbush) – the proud national flower of South Africa with its 112 distinct species. ‘Suid’ (Afrikaans pronounced ‘seyd’) translates to South. Fynbos Suid – the Flower of the South. We only work with local manufacturers in South Africa. Your choice directly supports small- and medium-sized businesses in the greater Cape Town region.
Description
The nose carries the signature of coastal Chenin Blanc – kelp, citrus and white stone fruit burst forth in ocean-like waves of smell. The palate is lively and velvety but coated with a leery creaminess to ensure balance and power. Respectively, citrus and cream play a tug of war across the lengthy finish.
Food Pairing
Fish, light white meat (chicken), grilled cauliflower (South African style)
