Star bright straw gold. Wonderfully inviting nose of ripe yellow apple and hay. Juicy (medium plus acidity), medium palate confirms the nose (with the hay leading the apple) adding honeysuckle, orange rind, and white pepper. A slightly oily mouthfeel leads into the relatively short finish. Classic South African Steen. Drink now.

Straw bright, gold, clear and pale. Smell of peaches, honeysuckle, wet granite. Tasted very much of stone fruits and a bit of chalky stone. Went very well with salmon.
