"It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place "
- Abigail Van Buren

| Nose: |
Golden and pale green in colour. Strong floral aromas of citrus. The wines perfume is fragrant, delicate, and yet persistent; reminiscent of limes and lemongrass.
|
| Palate: |
An intensely fresh and steely palate confirms the attributes of this classic variety.The intensity of this fruit driven wine exemplifies what flavour enjoyment can be obtained by the marriage of high quality fruit and a minimal interventionist ethos.
|
| Finish: |
Good mouth feel and cleanliness in the palate is achieved by balancing the citrus flavours with the soft mineraly acids which are synonymous with this region.
|
| Food: |
Just wonderful with Pork Fillets
|
| Cellaring: |
With good cellaring this wine will develp for a further 7 to 10 years
