An enthralling nose of white peach, lime zest and granny smith apples complements a silky, coated mid-pallet that lingers in the mouth. The bright minerality typical of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley elevates flavors of orange peel, pear and layers of fragrant jasmine.
Balanced and integrated, this wine has a crisp core that speaks of a clean-cut complexity. Serve chilled and enjoy as the wine unfolds in your glass.

A total of seven estate vineyards, planted on both clay shales and Table Mountain sandstone, contribute to this wine. Earlier pickings offer a fresh backbone to the blend, while those that’ve ripened further impart flavorful and mouth filling generosity. As soon as the grapes are delivered to the cellar, they are crushed, destemmed and lightly pressed.
Following a long and cool fermentation of only the free-run portion, textural development is encouraged by a significant period of maturation on lees (sur lie).
