Typical cool climate racy green pepper aromas form the backbone of the wine, but the inclusion of fruit from slightly warmer areas also allows for an interesting underlay of tropical/floral flesh. A good example of crisp acidity balanced with quite a bit more than just the typical green flavours from a cool climate area, making it more fruit friendly and versatile. Perfect with a host of Mediterranean dishes.
VINEYARDS
Our production areas include sites in the Perdeberg, Durbanville and the Helderberg (Stellenbosch), which provide our wine with its delicious flavours and crisp acidity. These vineyards allow for slower ripening, a greater natural concentration of flavours and long finish. Depending on the slopes and the fertility of the soils in these cooler areas, flavour profiles can range from the more tropical gooseberry and lychee to racy green pepper, or even herbaceous asparagus. We selected those vineyards that steered away from the herbaceous character, which we associate with over vigorous soils. Although further from the coast, the whole of Table Bay is visible from the Paardeberg vineyard we use.
