Another stellar vintage. Love this wine with its balance of richness and pure Chenin Blanc character. Lots of honey, chamomile and quince with pulsating acidity.

Barrel fermented chenin that drinks much like chard. Flinty and sulphide, apple, poached pear, marzipan, nougat.

Holy moly, this is stellar juice. Immensely concentrated, lush and near-creamy texture with killer acidity. Finishes a touch hot, but who cares? This is dope.

Bright melon and orchard fruits with a distinctly natural earthyness. 2012 is showing up nicely in the glass with a good intensity and a roundness on the palate. #Capesomm #WOSA
