Winemaker’s Selection Bukettraube - Semi-Sweet 2020

A good balance between natural sweetness and fresh acidity with prominent Muscat flavours on the nose, accompanied by ripe stone fruit, white apple and interesting spices on the palate. The wine finishes with a lingering aftertaste.

This wine can be enjoyed in wintertime with a spicy curry dish but can also be served well chilled on a hot summer’s day!

Once a well-known and well enjoyed wine in South Africa...today there are very few Bukettraube vines left in the world.We have created some standalone premium wines to showcase the diversity of Darling Cellars and the Darling region. All so unique, we could not find a place for them in our 3 core ranges. Wines to come look for.
in the vineyard : Terroir: Vineyards from different slopes and different soils were used for this blend. The cool nights and cool South-westerly wind in the afternoons cooled the vineyards down and helped to form the elegant fruit flavours. Soil types consisted of weathered granite to deep red and well drained soils.
Vineyard type: Bush Vine, supplement irrigation.
about the harvest: Yield:10t/ha
Balling at Harvest :21 - 22°B
in the cellar : Vinification: Crush and destalk, 18 days fermentation at 14°C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock infruitiness. Maturation: Left on lees for 2 months to add complexity
