The colour is clear and bright, with a hint of green. The nose is quite expressive, initially dominated by capsicum but then followed by aromas reminiscent of grapefruit, passion fruit and fynbos. The mid-palate mouth feel is rich, with a ‘citrus oiliness’. The lingering freshness of the wine is enhanced by mineral notes of gunflint, typical of the Elgin terroir.
The ideal wine aperitif but best enjoyed with food. Refreshing summer time wine, it pairs well with salads and lighter meats. Richer seafood and cheese platters make it work through autumn and winter.
