Beautiful layers of sweet fresh melon and guava play on the nose, with subtle whiffs of jasmine and peach blossoms. Zesty summer melon with hints of white peaches follow through on the palate, finishing with a well-balanced crisp acidity.
Grapes originate from the Paardeberg district near Paarl as well as the Swartland. Harvested at optimum ripeness of around 22.5° to 23° Balling, then destemmed, crushed and fermented at 13°C. Lees contact of three months has enhanced the mouthfeel and body, while promoting structure.
