PG – Platter’s Wine Guide

The wine is fresh and zesty, with bright lemony aromas and nuances of brûlée, greengage, mango and ripe cling peach on a fruit-forward nose. The vibrant citrus character of the nose follows through onto a medium-bodied palate, with intense flavours of starfruit, granadilla and nectarine lending complexity. Integrated acidity on a round and smooth midpalate adds to a refined, balanced wine. Poached pear and melon linger on a gentle, slightly saline finish, with hints of fresh fig, vanilla seeds and white blossoms.

Our preferred growing regions of Stellenbosch, Breedekloof and Robertson all delivered exemplary fruit with valuable acidities and good pulp-to-juice ratios.
