Description

Beautiful flavor like ripe passion-fruit and granadilla bursts out of the glass. A fun white of peachiness also compliments the other fruity aromas. A fresh, crisp, medium-bodied wine made in a New World style. Delicious pineapple and granadilla flavors together with Granny Smith apples impart a zesty and lengthy finish on the palate.

This refreshing and flavorful wine will pair well with fresh salads, including fruit salad. Perfect for a fish braai (barbecue) with roast vegetables on the side. A summer sunset wine to enjoy with family and friends.
The grapes originate from Robertson, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. The Robertson grapes were picked slightly earlier at around 21˚Balling to ensure higher natural acidity and distinct flavors of gooseberry & fresh cut grass. The riper Stellenbosch and Franschhoek grapes at 23° Balling gives the nose a fresh passion fruit flavor.

Fermentation took place between 11-13˚C, with extended lees contact to ensure a well-balanced mouthfeel that supports all the flavors on the palate.

Winemaker: Eugene Van Zyl
