Soft and subtle tropical fruit aromas are anchored by some spice on the nose of this pleasing but straightforward wine from Matuba. There’s pineapple, lemon and grapefruit on the palate, and the finish is clean and refreshing. Imported by American Wine Distributors, Inc.

Rounded in the mouth, with decent balance, this has nice fruit and spice, even if the impression is not lasting. Citrus pith, oak spice and a touch of petrol surround tropical fruit flavors. Finish is brief. Imported by American Wine Distributors.

Light gold, this has a touch of oak to the nose, adding sweetness to aromas of tropical fruit. Rounder and fuller than unoaked Chenins, with a touch of sweetness from the oak, this nevertheless has good acidity propping up yellow fruit flavors touched with spice.

With fruit picked high on the slopes of Groenberg at Wellington, this wine is driven by lively, crisp, tropical fruit flavors like grapefruit and has a pleasant floral and zingy fruit nose. It’s a little lean and non-descript in general character, but would pair well with a mildly flavored fish entree. Imported by American Wine Distributors

Has sweet white fruit aromas, like peaches that have been sitting in the sun too long. Citrusy in the mouth, with a medium body but a flat feel. Finishes with a hint of spice.

Dry, chalky tannins frame this woody wine with modest aromas of berry, earth and leather. The finish shows a hint of lemon and more leather, but the wood overpowers the dark berry fruit in the mouth.

A hint of unoaked Viognier was added (6%) to this approachable Shiraz for depth and body, but despite some appealing flavors of plum, spice and chocolate, the wine lacks soul. There’s some heft in the midpalate but it fades without the kind of vibrancy sought for in this variety. Imported by American Wine Distributors.
