"Tropical fruit, guava and melon aromas, crisp and bold sweet
citrus backed by refreshing acidity and minerality
characteristic of our coastal vineyards. A versatile food wine
to go with most poultry, fish and salad dishes. Also fabulous
as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. Serve chilled."
| Wine maker notes |
| "This wine has a unique delicious tangy character that goes well with a lot of food and makes for an excellent aperitif. In South Africa we say "moreish"; it is an excellent third date wine. It has lively aromas of tropical fruits and melon, with crisp, bold citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Serve chilled" |
| Technical notes |
| Sourced from various vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region. Mostly un-irrigated, older (15 years+), bush-vine (un-trellised) vineyards with low yields of 6,5 tons/ha. Only free-run juice used in producing this wine. After settling the must was inoculated and allowed to ferment over 20 days in stainless steel tanks at an average fermentation temperature of 13˚ centigrade. The wine was left on its lees until bottling for richer mouth-feel. |
