Drostdy-Hof Sweet White is a well-balanced, approachable white wine made in the Western Cape of South Africa. It combines freshness and fruitiness in a light-bodied profile that appeals to a wide range of palates. Crafted with care by Drostdy-Hof – a brand rooted in Tulbagh’s rich wine heritage – this wine is perfect for those who enjoy a soft, easy-drinking style without compromising on flavour.
The wine is made using mainly Chenin Blanc and Colombard grapes, which are fermented at low temperatures to preserve their natural fruit character. The result is a sweet white wine with notes of peach, apricot, and tropical fruit, balanced by zesty acidity and a pleasingly smooth finish.
Ideal for social occasions, picnics, or casual meals, Drostdy-Hof Sweet White is best served chilled and can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of dishes, including seafood, light curries, or fresh salads.
