Remhoogte 2014 Reserve Honeybunch Chenin Blanc (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)

This wine’s nose of buttered popcorn makes it a no-brainer with avocado and corn, but its rich fruit and sweet spice also bring out the salsa’s red pepper and basil. Cream and honey are balanced with a limey acidity, which acts like an additional dressing to this salad-like salsa.
