Aromas of gooseberry, lime and white peach are most prominent on the nose; with subtle hints of fynbos. The palate offers blackcurrant leaf and a touch of white asparagus, ending on a long and structured mineral finish. Pale straw with hints of lime on the edge.

in the vineyard : The vines are grown in a combination of Oakleaf, Clovelly and Glenrosa soils. Located just 15km from the coast, the vineyard benefits from a cooling Atlantic Ocean breeze that gives the berries a longer hang time, encouraging slow ripening. These conditions create concentrated grapes with intense flavours

about the harvest:

The fruit was harvest in the early hours of the morning to retain freshness and acidity.

in the cellar : Skin contact was limited to six hours and the free-run juice drained off to settle overnight before inoculation with carefully selected yeast strains. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures between 12° and 14°C. A small portion of the Sémillon was fermented in French oak barrels to add complexity to the wine. The wine matured for 3.5 months on the lees before bottling.
