    Bukkettraube

    South Africa is one of the few wine-producing countries worldwide to bottle Bukettraube, which produces wine with a distinctive Muscat bouquet, as a single varietal wine. This well-balanced example is an excellent accompaniment to this new take on the traditional, inspired by a remarkable Cape figure, C Louis Leipoldt, who was a physician, botanist, author, journalist, major Afrikaans poet and well-known culinary expert.
