Tasting note
Charming South African Riesling that boasts both the generosity of New World expressions and the finesse of the German style; floral and fresh, with lime and melon adding acidity, flavour and juice.
Viticulture
The Riesling is sourced from the cool climate region of Elgin ensuring vibrancy of flavours and tension in the wine.
Vinification
After harvest, grapes are delivered to our cellar in refrigerated trucks. Vinified reductively to limit oxygen and preserve intense flavours, the wine undergoes cool fermentation with Austrian yeast. Fermentation is stopped by cooling at 6g/L residual sugar, then the wine is aged on its lees (sur lie) for 6 months before bottling.
Food Match
This unique wine commands rich and spicy foods so pairs well with Thai and Indian curries. It is also the perfect accompaniment to fresh fish dishes.
