Namaqua Sweet White is a sweet white wine from South Africa, designed to be light, affordable, and packed with fruit flavours. Produced from a blend of white grape varieties (including Muscat, possibly Chenin Blanc and Colombard), it has a lower alcohol content (around 8.5%) which helps preserve sweetness and delivers a gentle drinking experience. It’s made for casual occasions, refreshment, and pairing with lighter foods rather than heavy oak-aged styles.
