Tasting Note
This Bordeaux-style white offers harmoniously balanced, subtly articulated flavours. Soft, rounded and refined, it has traces of the unexpected, like fig leaves on the nose and the merest hint of elderflower. This complexity of flavours comes from very selective sourcing and attention to detail. The presence of oak is a barely-there sensation, on the nose rather than the palate. This stirs yet more complexity into its wonderful creaminess. While already intriguingly complex, the 2017 vintage promises to become increasingly layered over the coming years and will show best at 5 – 8 years after harvest.
Food Pairing
Pair with citrus-buttered line-fish or whole steamed lobster.
Awards
John Platter Wine Guide 2020 - 4.5 stars
Tim Atkin Annual South African Report 2020 - 94 points
