Cape Point Vineyards Isliedh 2008

Isliedh is created in a tight mineral style for enjoyment with great food which will reward for many years to come. The wine displays a complex array of limes, minerality, tropical fruit and spice which will be accompanied by secondary flavours over time. The ''08 can be best enjoyed from mid-2010 over the next 5 years and possibly even 10.
