Zevenwacht JAN White, Cuvee from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Ripe exotic, spicy and perfumed. Aromas of yellow fruit, herbs and a citrus touch provide a complex and full whole with a long aftertaste.
58% Chenin Blanc, 34% Chardonnay, 5% Viognier and 3% Roussanne, with the Chenin Blanc coming from 37 year old vineyards. Chenin Blanc is a high-quality white grape from which stunningly beautiful sweet wines can be made in the Loire, such as Bonnezeaux and Quarts de Chaume. Locally, the grape, like the wine, is called pineau de la loire. The relatively neutral character of the grape and the high acidity provide a fresh impression. The grape is sensitive to noble rot caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. Also important in South Africa (known as Steen) and in California.

Chardonnay, the grape of white Burgundy and Champagne, is planted all over the world. Delivers good to very good wine with a full, dry taste. Chardonnay is a grape that does not have a clear character, which depends on the terroir (soil and climate) and the method of wine making. Chardonnay lends itself very well to maturing in wooden barrels.

Viognier, an extremely vulnerable white grape of very high quality that forms the basis of Château Grillet and Condrieu. This grape is also allowed up to 20% in the red Côte Rôtie. Viognier produces a delicate, softly scented white wine. More and more quality-conscious wine growers are planting Viognier and as a result their white wines usually increase enormously in quality.

Roussanne, this white grape is planted in the northern part of the Rhône (greatly increased in the 1990s). The wines have a surprisingly elegant texture, with a spicy and mineral perfume. They are more fragrant than that of Marsanne, also a grape that in the Rhône. However, these two grapes are often mixed, because the yield of Roussanne is uneven. The grape is susceptible to mildew, rots quickly, is not resistant to strong winds, ripens late and oxidizes easily in the cellar.
