More about this wine from Western Cape, South Africa
Balance Wines was launched in 2004 and is the product of winemakers Natalie van Rooyen and Ben Snyman, who select their grapes from a variety of vineyards across the valleys of South Africa's Cape Winelands, capturing the diversity of South African wines. Following in the theme of their name, they believe no matter what happens in life, it’s always important to have balance in order to stay grounded and happy.

Clean, and bright like a nightlight through the scariness of the night. A South African wine that is a great expression of what is coming out of an up-and-coming region. On the nose, some notes of peach pits and salty air lace a tropical wonderland of pineapple and golden apples. Any sign of sweet sugary stickiness is pulled away by the bright acidity. So put on a movie and grab a glass.
