Porcupine Ridge Viognier Grenache Blanc 75cl 2015 is a characterful South African white wine that offers far more depth than its easy-drinking style first suggests. Produced by Boekenhoutskloof, the acclaimed Cape winery behind the Porcupine Ridge range, this blend brings together Viognier and Grenache Blanc to create a dry white with generous texture, expressive aromatics and bright, food-friendly freshness. Oaks & Corks shoppers looking for a white wine that feels polished without becoming too serious will find plenty to enjoy here.
