Costing around £12 a bottle a new variety - Cabernet Cygne Blanc - is to be offered from a South African producer. The variety is a naturally occurring version of the Cabernet vine and produces an aromatic wine with a peachy character reminiscent of a white Rhône..

"The vines with white berries produced their first fruit in 1991. “I was mystified, excited and decided to keep the matter secret,” said Mann, who produced the first five vintages in secret. In 1999 it was registered as a new variety, Cabernet Cygne Blanc. In 2000, Mann granted Port Robe Estate on the Limestone Coast an exclusive licence to produce the variety."
