Winemaker Louw Engelbrecht describes this straw-coloured wine with a tinge of gold as showing marmalade and toast on the nose. Its flavours, however, show minor notes of citrus. Instead peach and pear come to the fore, backed by toastiness from barrel fermentation and ageing in wood.
He recommends enjoying this wine, very slightly chilled, on its own or with chicken and fish dishes, with delicately spiced or fruit-based sauces.
