Tasting Notes
A vibrant, creamy white with rich fruit and mineral finesse, showcasing Stellenbosch’s terroir.
The nose reveals yellow grapefruit, lemon curd, and fresh thyme, with hints of apple pie and salinity. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and textured, with bright acidity, a silky mouthfeel, and flavors of lime, stone fruit, and a long, pithy finish.
