This wine opens with dominant aromas of pineapple, peach, and ripe pear, beautifully balanced by subtle hints of spicy oak. The nose offers a vibrant, fruity introduction that promises complexity and richness.
On the palate, it’s a full-bodied, mouth-filling wine with a well-structured framework. Flavors of dried fruit and white flowers linger, complemented by a touch of minerality that adds finesse to the long, satisfying finish. A delightful harmony of fruit and oak, this wine showcases both depth and elegance.

Rickety Bridge Wine Estate is undoubtedly one of the most progressive wineries in the Cape. The historic winemaking cellar was recently renovated and converted into a barrel fermentation center, the new winery was built, and modern cooling equipment was installed. The newly built wine-tasting center is the perfect place to sample 200 years of winemaking tradition: Taste these delightful Franschhoek wines in comfort, al fresco in summer on the winery veranda, or relaxing in front of the fire in winter. The pleasures of these outstanding South African wines extend beyond the bottle.
