Zevenwacht Bouquet Blanc 2007

Soft golden, with a perfumed nose, infused with honeysuckle, lemon and peaches. Subtle flavours of litchi, lime and rose petals, contributed by the Gewürztraminer, combine beautifully with the classic Riesling to create a mouthwatering, creamy sensation.

Well balanced residual sugar and acidity provides a long, crisp finish with layers of fruit and floral tones.
Available in cork and screwcap.

A perfect partner for spicy Thai foods or Cape Malay curries.

in the vineyard : A mere 150m above sea level, the vines of both these vineyard stand in the face of the Atlantic Ocean, which drenches the canopies in its cooling breezes and afford the bunches the opportunity to ripen slowly, developing exceptional flavours at their own pace.

The decomposed granite soils contain desirable clay elements that retain moisture during the dry ripening period, yet allow excellent drainage due to the prominent gravel fractions.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand harvested at optimum flavour development and lightly pressed.

in the cellar : After pressing the clear juice underwent cold fermentation at 13° Celsius preserving the heady perfume of both varieties and keeping the wine fresh.
