The Wolftrap White – Howlingly Good

Delivering a lot more than you expect for a sub-$10 wine, The Wolftrap White.

The Wolftrap White - Howlingly Good

38% Viognier, 37% Chenin Blanc and 25% Grenache Blanc from Franschhoek Valley, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa. The wine spends a short time in oak and it has residual sugar of 2.3 g/L.

Sample submitted for review. The Wolftrap White from Boekenhoutskloof has an SRP of $12 and is available for as low as $8. Ready to buy? Check your local retailers. Imported by Vineyard Brands.

From the bottle:

The Wolftrap is a spicy, aromatic, white blend that has been French oak matured. The name is a tribute to the pioneers who in the early days of the Cape erected a wolf trap at Boekenhoutskloof. To date, no wolf either real or mystical has been seen in the valley.

13.5% Alcohol

The 2017 Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap White begins with an enticing aroma of honeysuckle, green apple and lemon along with pleasant notes of white flowers. The wine tastes a bit creamy and oaky on the palate with tons of rich flavors — this is not what you’d expect from an $8 bottle of wine! In the mouth it has similar fruit to the nose along with hints of baking spice. Some stony minerality leads into the crisp, dry and long finish. This is an intriguing blend that has quite a bit of complexity to it, I loved it! Bulk Buy.
