Bargain Club - Eighth Allocation

This month, we've got two great summer weight whites, a Rioja, a South African red, and two amazing Argentine wines for you to enjoy.

First off is Royal Chenin Blanc from the Riebeek Valley in the Swaartland district of South Africa.  This Steen (as Chenin is fondly called by old school South African wine drinkers)  is the perfect every day wine that offers uncomplicated quality for the novice and connoisseur alike. Packed with upfront melon fruit, the nose charms with an abundance of guava and gooseberries as well as the signature hint of honey. The palate follows through with fruit flavors balanced by a crisp acid to ensure a fresh and fruity style of wine.  Enjoy well-chilled as a lovely crisp glass on its own but ideal for al fresco dining and with light summer fare. Beautiful with salads, anti pasti and seafood.  48 year old vines, showing  a very good concentration of ripe stone fruit with honeyed notes and nice balancing acidity. A surprisingly good wine for the price.

Then there's La Bourgeoisie Dionysus Vineyard Chardonnay, a single vineyard Washington State Chardonnay from Chris Hedges of Hedges Winery, produced tongue in cheek under the guise of The House of Independent Producers. A perfect everyday choice with fresh apple and pear surrounded by a lovely balance of cedar, spice and a hint creme brulée. Wonderful balance and acidity. No one-trick pony devoid of character, this. A soon to be favorite that is bound to please and affordable enough for everyday drinking.
