- Richly textured and beautifully balanced, with delicious notes of anise, lime and green apple notes and finishing with mouthwatering salinityA unique style of Grenache Blanc which shows delicacy and finesse. Subtle aromas of lime blossom combine with green herbal notes, white peach, and quince through to a beautifully balanced and richly textured palate with a saline hint on the finish.
The grapes were whole-bunch-pressed to ensure an elegant extraction of colour, aromas, and flavours. Natural fermentation took place in seasoned French oak barrels and large oak foudres, adding complexity layers. The wine was aged for 10 months on its fine lees, adding texture and richness.

| Winery | The vineyards are located on the fertile slopes of the Olifantsberg Mountain Range, where they endure large diurnal temperature differences and strong winds at altitudes from 250 to 450 metres above sea level. During the winter, the mountain peaks are snow-covered, keeping the vines dormant for longer. Cold winters and the summer winds ensure the grapes' slow ripening, which helps maintain healthy vines and contributes freshness and elegance to the wines. The soils in the vineyard comprise shale and slate, which lend structure to the resulting wine. The vineyards are farmed sustainably, helping to maintain the biodiversity within the vineyards and soils. |
