The focus behind this blend is to bring together the opulence and complexity of Chenin Blanc with the freshness and rich mouth feel of the Semillon. In addition to the fruit traditionally used from vineyards in Stellenbosch, we decided to source fruit from an old, dry land vineyard within the Swartland region.
Tasting Note by the Winemaker
With its brilliant yellow tinge, the wine offers a full array of flavours from peach, white pear and orange zest with nuances of honeysuckle and roasted nuts. The palate is rich and abundant in primary and secondary flavours along with a luscious texture and mid palate weight. Elements of minerality combine with the harmonious acidity leaving one with a lasting fresh aftertaste.
Being a full flavoured wooded wine, creamy seafood dishes with richness and weight such as sole, butterfish, abalone and lobster will complement this wine. Also successful with lighter poultry and cream based pasta dishes. We have even found that lime Ceviche works particularly well.
