Primordial Soup White Blend, Western Cape
Primordial Soup White Blend might just be, bang for buck, the best bottle of white wine on our list. Produced from a mysterious blend of South African varieties grown on the Swartland's sandy, granitic soils, the powerful Southern sunshine makes sure the grapes reach their optimum ripeness. This yields a medium bodied white with bright, tropical fruit aromas, peach and nectarine and a soft, lingering mouthfeel. It's dry, but oh so fruity and certainly won't make you pucker your lips. Moreish, fun and outstanding value for money.
"At the Western Cape’s Pinnacle Point, evidence remains in maritime caves of our earliest known ancestors - a primitive culture that combed the beaches and fished in the same rock-pools from whence they came. Our aim with Primordial Soup is to introduce South African wine in its most accessible form, red and white familial twins made up of multiple classical cultivars, named without variety. The design inspiration is from the illustration’s of Ernst Haeckel, German naturalist, who identified then drew some of the simplest forms of life on Earth. We then use these to relate to Darwinism and the subject of Creation and evolution as a whole. It’s the story of everything."
