PAARL SAUVIGNON BLANC
1993 $8.95 (South Africa)
This is an interesting take on
sauvignon blanc — a distinctive-
ly fatter, fruitier plank that’s clos-
er to the Loire than the Gironde
in style. .
Should win friends among tip-
plers tired of the generic “sauvi-
gnon blank” now produced
worldwide. This has some “size”
on the palate without being quite
“off dry.” Needs cool mussels
with mayonnaise sauce or a
bowl of oyster stew and toast.
Pressing on with our investi-
gation of new South African
releases...
_ PAARL ROODEBERG 1991
$8.95 (South Africa)
| have to admit, | opened this
unprepossessing bottle with an
air of condescension. It is, alter
all, a low-rent mélange of caber-
net sauvignon, shiraz and pino-
tage. What the heck is “pino-
tage” — besides one of those
vaguely French-sounding names
that frequently disguises trouser-
ripping wines until it’s too late?
Actually, pinotage is South
Africa’s unique grape: a cross
between pinot noir and cinsault
