Kaapzicht Hanepoot Jerepigo 2007

Pale golden straw colour with luscious Muscat aromas inviting a sip; viscous but well balanced and not syrupy with layers of papaya, lychee and orange marmelade giving a true taste of summer's abundance; silky, smooth with enough acidity for a clean, "more-ish" finish.
Elsie Pels - Cape wine Master
