Tasting Notes: Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain The Matriarch 2020

Elegant and complex, this white blend opens with alluring citrus peel and white blossom aromas. Layers of delicious waxy texture, subtle spice, and a touch of minerality unfold gracefully on the palate. Balanced by tangy freshness and a savoury, mouth-watering finish, The Matriarch offers both richness and precision.

The 2020 vintage benefited from higher rainfall compared to the previous drought years, replenishing the soil and nourishing the vines. While the early season saw ideal ripening conditions, cooler and rainier weather in March slowed down maturation, contributing to enhanced flavour complexity and natural acidity.

Winery	A deeper dive into the terroir, this wine represents the culmination of all the signature Olifantsberg traits. It vividly depicts rocky, mineral-rich soils, steep slopes, wind-swept vines, fragrant fynbos, and sun-caressed, succulent fruit. The vines planted between 2006 and 2014 are grown in the Echelas vineyard; these staked vines create a completely different micro-climate to the trellised vineyards. Lower temperatures within the micro-climate ensure higher acidity and a more aromatic profile. The vines grow on shale, schist, and sandstone-based soils with an underlying clay layer, which perfectly balances water drainage and retention. This fine balance, along with the mineral-rich composition of the soils, is reflected in the elegance and complexity of the fruit they deliver.
