White Wines.
South Africa
Imports of South African wine continue to increase and are now in fourth overall position behind Australia (France and the USA as the most popular wines in the UK). The fruit for our Parrotfish wines is sourced from the Olifants River - interesting blends at the entry level. The Avondale Chenin and Chardonnay are excellent and hail from an estate that's been producing wine for 300 years.
