Nose:
Bright and expressive with aromas of yellow apple, quince, citrus blossom, and white peach. Subtle hints of wet stone and hay lend a mineral undertone that is distinctly Stellenbosch.
Palate:
Crisp and focused, offering vibrant acidity that carries flavours of pear, green apple, and citrus zest. A fine mineral line anchors the mid-palate, finishing dry and elegant with gentle herbal nuances.
Ageing Potential:
Best enjoyed now to 5 years, gaining honeyed tones, lanolin, and deeper stone-fruit complexity.
Food Pairings:
Pair with grilled linefish, lemon butter prawns, fresh salads, or goat's cheese tart.
Moment Pairing:
A refreshing companion for warm afternoons, relaxed gatherings, or a bright midweek dinner.
Vineyards & Harvest:
Sourced from bush-vine vineyards planted on decomposed dolomite granite, contributing purity and natural acidity. Grapes harvested early to retain freshness.
Vinification:
Cold fermentation in stainless steel, followed by brief lees contact to enhance texture without compromising crispness.
