PG – Platter’s Wine Guide

The nose is fresh and lively, showing rich, ripe yellow cling peach, tangerine, and sundried mango. Whiffs of almond paste, cloves, nutmeg and star anise add to a perfumy nose. The palate is full and unctuous, with flavours of ripe apricots, fresh figs and marmalade. The wine is full-bodied, textured and balanced, with a lively acidity and clever use of oak to balance. Ginger spice and crème brulee linger on a gentle, saline finish.

Vineyard & Winemaking
Technical Analysis

Grapes were hand-picked during the middle of May from our 0.96 ha Semillon vineyard, which was planted on Boekenhoutskloof in 1997. This unique, organically certified vineyard is rooted in deep alluvial soils on the banks of the Franschhoek River. This combination creates the perfect meso- limate for the proliferation of Botrytis Cinerea.
