Deetlefs Estate De Hageveld White 2012

Light lemon yellow colour. Tropical fruit; pineapple, grenadilla with hints of freshly cut grass. Nice subtle aromas of spicy and creamy oak. Prominent minerality. Clean linear and mineral entry. Very good balance with fresh crispy apple acidity. A subtle oak presence which adds creamy complexity. Wine has full and long aftertaste. Minerality is very prominent on taste.

The perfect food wine which will age with grace. It is very diverse and creamy and rich dishes are encouraged with this lovely wine.
