Tasting note
Light straw yellow in the glass. Fruity nectarine and citrus blossoms on the nose, with a touch of cashew nuts and baked bread due to the wood finish. Juicy and polished on the palate, medium-bodied, with lots of citrus fruit and juicy peaches. Lively aftertaste with good freshness for a wood-aged wine.
Culinary recommendation
Great with caviar, snails, carpaccio pâté, crayfish (Cape Rock Lobster), shrimp, mussels, pearl peas (abalone) and cream cheese.
Vinification
The grapes for this wine come from La Motte, Franschhoek. The vineyard is located 200 meters above sea level, on a south and southwest slope. All grapes were pressed whole and the free-running juice was filled into 300-liter French oak barrels, where it was inoculated with yeast and fermented at 17 to 20 degrees Celsius. Malolactic fermentation also took place in the barrels. A third of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks without malolactic fermentation. After fermentation, the grape was stirred regularly over a period of 12 months. 20% of the French oak barrels in which the wine matured were new. All components were assembled after maturation and the wine was bottled.
