Want something cold, fruity and zero fuss? This is your bottle. Culemborg Cape White is a sweet South African white that tastes like ripe pineapple and peach in a glass, soft and forgiving, no sharp edges. Crack it when the plans are loose, the company is good, and you just want a drink that makes everyone happy. We'll get it to your door fast, whatever the hour.
Pour it and you get a hit of tropical fruit straight away. Pineapple, a bit of ripe melon, that juicy yellow-peach thing Chenin Blanc does so well. Sniff and there's lemon and a soft floral note hiding behind the fruit. On the tongue it's sweet and round, gentle rather than sugary, with just enough lift at the end to keep it from feeling heavy. Easy company. The kind of glass that disappears before you've noticed.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Culemborg comes out of South Africa's Western Cape, the heart of the country's wine country. It's part of the Douglas Green stable, drawing fruit from across the Cape winelands. Here's the cool bit: the name comes from a little Dutch town called Culemborg, the birthplace of Jan van Riebeeck, the man who planted the very first vines at the Cape back in 1655. So the name is a quiet nod to where South African wine actually began. Chenin Blanc, by the way, is the Cape's signature white grape, more of it grows here than anywhere else on earth.
