Fleur du Cap
With a score of
94/100, the Fleur du Cap Noble Late Harvest 2012 has shown remarkable
consistency as one of South Africa’s top dessert wines and the 7th
consecutive vintage to be awarded Platter 5 stars. The wine entices with a
bouquet of floral notes with whiffs of raisins and marmalade. Dried apricot and
peaches follow through onto the palate with the acidity and sweetness in perfect
balance.
Completing the cache
of 90+ rated wines are Fleur du Cap Unfiltered Semillon 2014 and Unfiltered
Sauvignon Blanc 2014 with a score of 91, and the Unfiltered Merlot 2013 scoring
90 points.
Now in its third
year, Tim Atkin’s 2015 South African Wine Report is the most comprehensive to
date. With his vast experience spanning 25 years
of tasting South African
wines, Atkin is an accomplished wine commentator
and British Master of Wine. He tasted more than 1 000 local wines for his 2015
