Description
Tropical fruit, guava and apple aromas. The bold sweet citrus flavors are backed by refreshing acidity and minerality, a characteristic of our coastal vineyards. A versatile food wine to go with most poultry, fish and salad dishes. Also fabulous as an aperitif for a hot summer afternoon. The 2011 vintage in the Agter-Paarl region was a very good vintage for both red and white wines. With dry weather and little rain throughout the growing season, the vines remained healthy and ripened their fruit easily. The crop was smaller than usual, but the grapes were of a high quality. The harvest was much earlier than usual. Overall the whites were very aromatic and showed typical varietal characteristics. Accolades WS 88 A bright, pure style, with lively green fig, pear skin and white peach flavors, offset by a nice hint of bitter almond on the finish. Drink now. 28,000 cases made. -JM, 88 Points
