Two new Makana wines launched into UK

South African producer, Cape First Wines, has made two new additions to its Makana brand – Makana Brut Blanc de Blanc NV (RRP £7.99) made from 100% Chardonnay and Makana Rose 2009 (RRP £5.99) from a blend of Pinotage, Shiraz and Merlot – aimed at the independent trade.
The fruit is sourced from across the Western Cape and offers outstanding quality and clarity of flavours in its blends. The Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine has sharp, long bubbles, and is lightly yeasty with aromas of citrus and peach fruits, rich and mouth filling.
The Makana Rose is an off dry style, with aromas of small ripe berries and a hint of spice. Good as an aperitif.
Makana wines are distributed in the UK by Stratford’s Wine Agencies
