tasting notes
A deliciously rich and fruity natural sweet white blend, St Anna is glimmering gold packed with ripe tropical fruit fragrances and flavours and attractive floral and spice nuances. Full sweetness is well balanced by a pleasing crisp finish. Gentle alcohol makes this wine very approachable and easy drinking.
 
blend information
80% Chenin Blanc, 20% Gewurztraminer
 
food suggestions
The absolutely approachable nature of this wine makes it popular with novice palates and even non-wine drinkers. Delicious served iced cold on its own, or as a perfect foil for spicy dishes such as Indian curries, spicy Thai food, and peri-peri chicken. Also great with Barbeque burgers or sticky spare ribs.
 
in the vineyard
Our viticulturalist sources quality grapes from vineyards around the Western Cape that best suit the true stylistic expression of ripe friendly fruit flavours synonymous with The Saints wines.
 
in the cellar
Our wines are made in appointed wineries around the Cape under the watchful eye and explicit direction of our Oenologist. Each variety is handled separately and the final blending and bottling takes place in our cellars in Wellington.
