...observations in the Platters' book, which reflect the sometimes tortuous route they took in their tastings. But generally the Platters were delighted to find a passionate wine revival under way, from the deserts of North Africa to the most southerly vineyards in Africa, near Cape Agulhas at the tip of the continent. The best among their discoveries included the Chardonnay Barrique of Morocco ("the finest white wine in North Africa"), Algeria's Domaine Ouzeva 96 (cabernet sauvigon) from Medea ("an area too dangerous to visit"), the Moelleux (chenin blanc) from Réunion, and Richard Leakey's Kenyan Ol Choro...
