Exceptional white Rhône-ish blend - like CdP Blanc with the added mineral and acidic verve of Vouvray. There’s a bit of tannic bite (I believe from a touch of skin contact) that combined with the acidity gives a distinct grapefruit-rind character. Hints of almond nuttiness and beeswax to go along with orchard fruits on the rich yet deft palate. I’m in love.

On point and worth more than a look, proving the world of wine is indeed global.

Good example of Grenache from #wosa nice red fruits of strawberry and raspberry with layers of savory herbs and spice. Palate is balanced with an acceptable finish. #capesomm

Nice, but it feels too comfortable and lacks tension.

Great Rhône blend from South Africa! Full bodied, high minerality, structure for years of aging!
