This full bodied, dry white wine has complex citrus, apricot and peach flavours. Toasted almond and butterscotch aromas, due to new barrel fermentation and maturation, are well integrated with the complex fruit.

ageing : Ready to consume now, but will continue to develop for the next 2-3 years.

in the vineyard : Climate: A mild spring and early summer combined with low disease pressure set the stage for a promising season and resulted in healthy grapevines. The ripening period was characterised by intermittent periods of very warm and cool weather. Even though a challenging season for viticulturists and winemakers alike, characteristic wines were crafted showing good balance and fruit.

about the harvest: Harvest date: February
Grapes from specially chosen vineyards were harvested at 24 degrees balling.

in the cellar : The bunches were pressed and the juice fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 9 months, before being blended and bottled.
