tasting notes
Style: A medium to full-bodied wine made in a refreshing New World style.
Nose: Prominent guava aromas are supported by flavours of litchi and mango, with a subtle herbaceous undertone.
Palate: A lively combination of herbs and ripe summer fruit sustained by a firm acidity and a dry, lingering finish.

100% Chenin Blanc
 
food suggestions
The interesting combination of herbal and fruit aromas underlined by a bold acidity makes this wine a versatile companion. Perfectly paired with rich sea-food such as mussels, herb infused tomato based dishes and recipes that contain balsamic vinegar.
 
in the cellar
Grapes came from Perdeberg in the Agter-Paarl region. Harvested at optimum ripeness, whole-bunch pressed, settled and fermented at 14° C with extended lees contact.
