Description

Bright, pale straw color with delicate scent of wild flowers and fruit, especially Cape Honeysuckle, white peaches and pineapples with a delicate underlying minerality. The palate fully matches the nose with a creamy sensation and a texture that combines elegance and intensity and concentrated fruit flavors.

After gentle pressing of the bunches and cold natural clarification of the juice, fermentation was completed in 300 litre French oak barrels. The wine was left on the lees until bottling as is evident in the creamy texture on the palate. The wine was made with minimum interference to reflect the true character of the Moordenaarsloof vineyard.

Winemaker: Jeanine Faure
