The wine has a brilliant golden straw colour. The nose is full of complex fruit aromas ranging from notes of lemons and limes, to hints of pineapple and ripe melons. The oak is just supportive with hints of butterscotch, backed bread and toasted almonds. There is a typical aroma of freshly struck flint that is always evident in every vintage of this wine. The wine enters the mouth with a certain amount of power but finishes with restraint and finesse. There are intense flavours of lemon preserve toasted almonds and freshly backed brioche. The wine has a focused mid palate with notes of lime zest and spice and then finishes fresh and crisp.
Enjoy with quail served with saffron, Cape gooseberry and citrus sauce or hickory smoked duck breast with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. It will also pair well with most grilled fish or chicken dishes.
