From the remote Citrusdal Mountains, 100 miles north of Cape Town, this elegant, textured wine is made by self-taught American winemaker Ginny Povall, who tends to bush vines planted in 1960. The nose offers pithy grapefruit and aromas of fynbos, South Africa’s native scrub. Plump, with delicious layers of complexity, there’s an ethereal quality and a satisfying salinity adds to the gastronomic versatility. I’d pair this with tarragon-roasted chicken.
