A blend of roughly 75% fruit from Stellenbosch and 25% from Elgin. The Elgin portion aged in neutral oak. Both portions 10 months on lees. No battonage.
Creamy, orchard fruit, apple blossom, spring white flowers, a touch of apple pip/bitter almond.

Medium gold in color; Lemon, honeysuckle, and maybe pineapple on the nose; medium plus acidity; tastes like starfruit, yellow apple, and saline with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it.
