Three Wines from KWV

Three wines from South Africa's KWV

 After I met with KWV. they sent me three wines to try. 

KWV Classic Collection Grenache Blanc 2015 (£7.55, Nisa) atypically expressive and zesty-pithy aromatic; fresh and citrussy with tropical fruits. Pure, clean and long.

Big Bill Red 2015 (£7.99, Nisa independents) violets and dark fruit with oaky spice. Warming and extracted; supple texture, but lacking mid-palate plumpness.

Mentors Cabernet Franc 2013 (£14.95, Ocado, slurp) complex oaky spice, dark juicy-jammy cherry and raspberry fruit with porty fynbos (aka garrigue herbs) and cool mint; dense and grippy. Long and substantial. Good.
