Although shy initially, the nose is clean and chalky, intriguing with its Forelle pear, yellow apple and stone fruit aromas and gentle whiffs of elderflower and classic, spicy nuances. The tropical fruit and poached pear character of the nose follows through with fresh pineapple, yellow cling peach and preserved orange peel, with hints of ginger adding complexity to a medium-bodied, broad, yet elegant, palate. Refreshing acidity and integrated alcohol all add balance to a smooth, lithe, slightly pithy mid-palate. Flavours of nectarine, melon and chamomile linger on a pure, focused, salivating finish.
Goldmine is a Chenin Blanc-based blend shaped to express the depth and diversity of our unique viticultural landscape. It is a careful blend of the best of the white wines sourced from the finest addresses for these varieties within our properties: Chenin Blanc from Swartland, Chardonnay from the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde, and Semillon from Franschhoek. The Franschhoek Semillon lends structure and longevity; the Swartland Chenin Blanc brings texture and richness; the Chardonnay from the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde offers lift and precision; and a small addition of Viognier adds a delicate aromatic layer. As a wine of origin Western Cape, Goldmine unites these far-flung sites in a single, harmonious cuvée. Its name speaks to something both precious and enduring – a refined expression of South Africa’s natural abundance, crafted for those who value depth, character, and the rewards of patience.
