This South African wine has a slightly yellow tint and a nose that is all about the minerals. The smell of lemon zest, apricot and a wet sidewalk all play into the aroma package. The palate shows various kinds of citrus, stone fruit and a rich salinity, not to mention the racy acidity. It's time for shellfish or crustaceans, or any kind of fish, really.

Some minerality and tartness - an interesting white overall. Hints of pear and some citrus.
