The story of the Allée Bleue wine farm in Franschhoek who discovered a family of owls in their barn is a sweet one, and the family watched the mother owl and her two baby owlets for months, so when it was time to name their new wine collection, the name Blue Owl sprung to mind, of course.
The range was just released in June and is a easy-drinking wine, both have loads of generous flavour – exactly what you want from an everyday drinking wine.
The Blue Owl Chardonnay is a fresh and zesty style of wine, packed with winter melon flavours, apricot nuances and a citrus aftertaste. It’s just the wine to open when you’re sitting around chatting with friends … food wise it’s lovely with fresh pasta with green pepper, ham and a creamy herb sauce.
The Blue Owl Merlot suits even the most informal social occasions, such as an evening around the braai. Elegant and fruit-driven (think ripe cherries and blackcurrant) it’s an excellent option to serve with a pasta topped basil, roasted cherry tomatoes, slivers of parmesan and drizzled with olive oil.
Get yours at your local bottle store for around R50 a bottle – and cheers to the weekend!
