Delicately toasty notes of freshly dried straw and apple slices alongside tones of white melon and lime zest. The palate reflects a similar fruit profile to what the nose offers, though it's all framed by ample acidity and a lightly pithy texture. It's clean and lightly spicy through the close, showing touches of yellow flower and beeswax along with the yellow-fruit core. (Editors’ Choice)
Winery
An intense straw colour with flecks of green. Notes of ripe quince, passionfruit and baked apples combine with hints of lemongrass, toasted almonds and brioche to offer a bouquet of aromatic complexity. The palate is rich and full and echoes the notes found in the multifaceted aroma, finishing with length and amazing clarity.

Region: Coastal Region

The coastal parts of South Africa, and in particular the region around Cape Town, have been important wine regions for a surprising length of time. Indeed, viticulture first began at the tip of the African continent back in the mid 17th century, when European settlers first began experimenting with the cooler and windier terroirs near the ocean, and recognizing the potential the area had for growing grapes of real character and distinction. Those early experiments slowly but surely led to a powerful wine industry, and South African wines became famous throughout Europe for their quality and big, fruity, bold flavors Today, the coastal regions of South Africa produce a huge amount of wine, made in sparkling, still and fortified styles, and utilizing a wide range of grape varietals.

Country: South Africa

As geographically diverse country, with everything from lush green valleys to areas of arid desert, mountainsides and river estuaries, South Africa unsurprisingly produces a huge range of excellent wines. Regions such as the Breede River Valley consistently impress with their Semillon wines and the lush, fruity Ruby Cabernets grown and processed here, and the cooler region of Overberg is attracting much attention as a result of their silky Pinot Noir bottles. However, all over the oceanic tip of this fascinating country, traditional methods dating back over three hundred years are combining with modern technologies to produce some of the finest examples of New World wines to be found anywhere on the globe.
