Soft and refreshing, the wine reflects the fruity aromas and flavours of the grape varieties in the blend. It has a crisp, clean, sweet finish.

in the vineyard : (Viticulturist: Henk van Graan)
To ensure optimum quality and consistency, the Drostdy Wine Cellar chose wines from selected co-operatives and wine farms to blend and produce wines which meet Drostdy-Hof’s exacting standards.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested early in the season while the sugar content is still low.

in the cellar : The fact that there is less sugar to convert into alcohol during the fermentation process results in a lower alcohol wine. After crushing and gentle pressing, the must was pumped into settling tanks where it was left until the solid matter had settled at the bottom. Cold fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. By controlling the fermentation, a delicate fruity white wine was produced which is light in alcohol, yet full of flavour.
