wade’s wines

It can be a tricky combo matching wine to Thai food but look out for tropical fruity flavours with acidity and sweetness to cut the spice. Three pocket-friendly suggestions:

SAXENBURG Guinea Fowl White 2017

Classic Chenin Blanc flavours like guava, pineapple and pear with some stone fruit and gooseberries too. Nice layers of fruit on the taste, with all the sensorial flavours prominent. R75

DOOLHOF Cape Crane 2017

The nose is complex and fresh with Cape gooseberry, floral, citrus and a touch of ripe melon. The palate crisp and refreshing, well balanced with a lingering zesty finish. R65

ANTHONIJ RUPERT TERRA DEL CAPO Pinot Grigio 2017

The palate offers tangy and succulent notes of peach and nectarine, along with some lemon freshness. Rounded yet juicy, and refreshing with a delightful jujube tail. R65
