A Delicious Monster Of A White Wine From South Africa

South Africa's McGregor Winery was founded in the 1940s, in the small town of McGregor, which has been around since the 1700s. The town wasn't officially founded until 1862. I guess the farmers that settled there were too busy farming to attend city council meetings.

The 2023 Delicious Monster is composed of estate fruit. The mix of grapes is 60% Chenin Blanc and 20% each of Muscat and Chardonnay. Alcohol sits at 12.5% abv and it costs $6 at Trader Joe's. 

This wine is pale greenish-yellow in color. Its nose offers abundant lemon and lime aromas, along with floral and herbal notes. The palate shows apple, pear, and peach flavors, along with a healthy dose of citrus minerals. The acidity is quite good and the sip is clean and fresh. Load up on this before springtime.
