Imagine a good white wine with white pepper, honeycomb, peach and lime – that is what you get in the Deetlefs Familie White. This wine has a bright golden colour and is slightly reserved on the nose. At first, you get some lanolin, peaches and spices, following through on the palate with a distinct pepperiness against a very fruity and soft wine. The mouthfeel is well-rounded and the wine is balanced well on the palate, developing some tropical fruit hints, and lingering long afterwards. This is the ideal wine for a summer afternoon, accompanied by a couscous salad and good company. Although it does not say it on the label, it is 100% Sémillon. The wine is thus complex but elegant and should be chilled well before serving. You might need more than one bottle if you intend to share it with others, because it is good and people will ask for more... This wine is available from Partners in Wine.
