A hue of fresh baled straw with golden highlights. A nose rich with peaches and yoghurt, honeysuckle and ripe apricots dusted with icing sugar. Tinned pears supported by nougat nuttiness introduces a feminine elegance on the palate. This is followed by a crisp apple acidity with orange rind, peaches and apricot completing the circle for a long lingering journey.

Serve slightly chilled with Duck LâOrange, garlic roasted calamari, Traditional Bobotie, or any shellfish.
