Cape Crane 2013

Light straw in colour, with a green tint, the nose is complex and fresh with Cape gooseberry, floral, citrus and a touch of ripe melon. The palate crisp and refreshing, well balanced with a lingering zesty finish.

Serve with fresh mussels, fish or Cape rock lobster in lemon butter, excellent with poultry, and a great companion to any picnic.

Fermentation lasted 21 days, with fermenting temperatures at around 13˚ Celsius.
