Tukulu 2005 Papkuilsfontein Chenin Blanc (Darling)
- Best Buy
- $13
From a black empowerment-managed vineyard, jointly owned with giant winery Distell, this wine comes from the Papkuilsfontein vineyard on the west coast. It is a ripe wine, but its chief attraction is the white fruit and crisp, herbaceous flavors. It already has good balance, but its very dry character promises some good development. Imported by Distell USA Inc.

Spice Route 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Darling)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Dainty accents of sweet grass and white clover florals jazz up the otherwise straightforward profile of ripe gooseberry and green plum aromas and flavors. It’s a lively and refreshing white, with a slightly prickly sensation in the mouth.

Groote Post 2006 Chenin Blanc (Darling)
- $14
From the emerging wine growing region of Darling, this Chenin Blanc is cheerful and bright, but substantive. Crisp apple and bright tropical fruit on the nose lead into a creamy palate of melon and guava. There’s a nice spiciness on the finish, which is long. The wine has a light character but has plenty of dimension.

Ondine 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Darling)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This muscular Cabernet starts with a nose of cigarbox and leather, and the earthiness continues on the palate, with flavors of tobacco, plum, spice and smoke. A touch of rusticity will blow off once the wine ages a bit. Overall an intriguing red that will pair nicely with heartier beef dishes and stews.
