The quality of South African wines has skyrocketed inthe past two decades, and nothing's a better example of that than this Chenin (or "Steen," as they call it there). The Mullineux family worked in France and California wineries before falling in love with Swartland, along with its granite and schist-based soils. The Kloof Street wines -- named for the lively main drag of Cape Town -- are all about delicious drinkability, and we are FOR it! A luscious mouthful of ripe pear, granite-laced citrus and bright acidity, this wine was made for you, me, and a very large prosciutto, arugula and aged Gouda sandwich.
