As the contrasting colours of straw and green hints suggest, the flavours of this wine are bold and upfront. The perfumed nose shows off aromas of pear, rose petals and subtle spice. All the aromas are carried through to the rich, full palate which has a hint of sweetness balanced by a racy acidity on the finish. The flavours linger invitingly on the aftertaste.
The grapes were hand-picked from a single 12year old vineyard on a gentle hillside slope in the Agter-Paarl area on the foothill of the Perdeberg mountain. Vines are trellised and grow on decomposed granite, perfect conditions for Viognier.
50% of the wine was fermented in 1st and 2nd fill French oak barrels. The remaining wine was fermented in tanks to ensure freshness to the final blend. The wine was left on the lees for 8 months before bottling.
