R465.00
(R2,789.99 for 6 x 750ml)
Experience a floral journey with this wine, complemented by hints of magnolia and frangipani, enhancing the ripe peach, apricot and roasted cashew nut aromas. It’s a beautifully layered sensory experience that leaves a memorable first impression.
Revel in flavours of succulent yellow peach and apricot, underscored by a distinct flinty edge and rich texture. A well balanced oak component aids in depth, leading to a somewhat oily finish and enjoy the lingering notes of ripe stone fruits that make a lasting remark.
The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed and transferred to French oak barrels (20% new and the balance made up of 2nd and 3rd fill oak) where it underwent alcoholic fermentation, without the addition of cultured yeasts. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in all the barrels. Matured in oak for a total period of 12 months, with lees stirring once a week to enhance the texture. Aged in bottle for a further 6 months prior to its release.
