Produced at the renowned Babylonstoren estate in South Africa, Candide 2024 is an intriguing white blend that showcases the versatility of the farm's finest cultivars. This medium bodied wine is a thoughtful marriage of Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Chardonnay and Sémillon, resulting in a profile that is both refreshing and sophisticated. The wine presents a pale straw colour and opens with an elegant bouquet of tropical fruits. On the palate, it is vibrant and fruit driven, revealing succulent layers of peach, lime and litchi. These bright flavours are beautifully balanced by a crisp, lingering acidity that provides a clean and focused finish. An ideal companion for sunshine and light dining, this blend pairs wonderfully with fresh summer salads, vegetable dishes, or delicate grilled fish. It is equally enjoyable served on its own as a crisp aperitif. Recognised for its consistent quality and contemporary style, Candide is a perfect choice for those seeking a complex yet highly approachable South African white. Show more
