Painted Wolf Peloton Blanc White Cape Blend 2016

An exciting white Cape Blend with layered flavours of stone fruit, minerality and citrus complimented with gentle oak. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a full rich mouth feel and a bright long finish.

The wine has bright exotic flavours and goes with seafood, pork and chicken dishes, especially those with a South East Asian feel. It is also lovely with southern French cooking.

At Painted Wolf Wines, we celebrate and help conserve the endangered African wild dog, our most charismatic predator. Wild dogs and cyclists have much in common: individual prowess, teamwork, energy, camaraderie and a never give-up attitude. Jeremy is an enthusiastic cyclist, and has used this passion as an additional way to raise funds for conservation. He has organised rides through some of the remaining pockets of wilderness inhabited by wild dogs as well as sponsoring major cycling events like the Tour de Tuli, which benefits the Children in the Wilderness charity.

in the vineyard : Grapes sourced from a number of vineyards in Paarl, Stellenbosch and in the Swartland.

in the cellar : The grapes were handpicked and whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented. Both wild and commercial yeast strains are used. Southern French/ Rhone white blends serve as inspiration for this wine.
