This Sauvignon Blanc (75%) Semillon (25%) blend is consistently among the best Bordeaux blends in the Cape. It offers beautiful floral notes of white orchid, rose and peach blossom. The fruit leaps from the glass unveiling a harmonious blend of white fruits, ripe nectarine, pink grapefruit, figs and lemon curd. Hints of floral oak spice combined with fresh thyme gives the wine an extra layer of depth. The palate is rich, saline, full and textured with the classic long lasting mineral finish. Wild yeast fermented in its entirety, it's a stunning achievement, with scented, nuanced 30% new wood.
