Great new discovery from South Africa watch this house for the future. Still young but also very drinkable at the moment. A blend off Rousanne, bush vine Chardonnay, Semillon and bush vine Chenin Blanc. Whole bunch pressed, unfined, wild ferment and old oak barrels used. I like this style !

Lovely blend. As it opens a band of smooth runny caramel hits the back which is also present on nose. Bit of lemon / citrus peel. Has an edge but also a waxy finish so is tremendous value
