Kaapzicht Hanepoot Jerepigo 2000

Veritas 2002 - Bronze
Light lemon yellow colour. Very appealing scents of honey, nuts, and raisins topped with a hint of spice. Fresh and lively palate with lots of sweet Muscat fruitiness. Nice acid to balance the sweetness and give the finish a lift.

Add crushed ice for a long summer cooler or good with desserts like baked apple with honey and raisins or any banana desserts.
