Looking for an easy-drinking bottle of wine that you can knock back with virtually anything, and don’t have to think about too deeply? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Voracious wine lovers with timid budgets will be happy to know that Overhex Wines International has released the latest vintages in its fun-loving Balance wine range.

Balance Best Blend

Previously known as Balance Classic, the Balance Best Blend range offers deliciously fruity wines that are not only easy on the pocket, but also on the palate. Retailing at R32 a bottle, these wines don’t scream for attention, or tire out the palate, because they’re balanced and focus on the lighter side of life!

Chenin Blanc Colombar 2013

Made from predominantly chenin blanc grapes, this wine offers an abundance of tropical fruit flavours and aromas of passion fruit. Not only the perfect companion for summer, but also with food. A creamy pasta with exotic mushroom, or fish and chips from your local takeaway will complement the flavours of the wine extremely well.

Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2013

If Bordeaux can master this blend so can South Africa! The 80% Sauvignon Blanc gives the wine its aroma and raciness while 20% Sémillon gives it backbone. Cuisine from the East will work well with this fruity wine with its snappy acidity.

Balance wines are available in most leading liquor retails and supermarkets.

Muscat 2013

This vibrant semi-sweet wine is by no means a blockbuster, but offers great freshness with lifted floral notes. Need a wine to beat the heat of a spicy Indian curry? Then this wine will be your best buddy.

Shiraz Rosé 2013

Made from Shiraz grapes from Wellington and Rawsonville. Dry and deliciously refreshing with soft raspberry and prune flavours. This versatile wine can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes like cold meat platters, pizza and salads.

Pinotage Shiraz 2012
Who said red wines are not suited for summer? Pop this juicy red in the fridge, chill it slightly and enjoy! The wine has a deep purple colour with ripe fruit, spice and dark chocolate aromas on the nose. Enjoy with tapas, goats cheese or around the braai.

Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012

Super smooth tannins and a beautifully elegant mouth-feel. It offers generous flavours of ripe berry and nut with a delightful hint of oak. With this wine, you’ll be able to actually taste your food. From hamburgers to sosaties, this all rounder will please most palates.

Fresh as the rainbow nation, here is a fun and fruity wine range to restore your happy equilibrium, without putting too much brain power behind it.
