The Wine The Wine
South Africa
Region:Swartland
The grapes come from a single, low-yielding vineyard block located on one of the best Swartland farms in South Africa’s Western Cape - a wonderful location where the vines benefit from cooling sea breezes from the Benguela current. The block is marked out, and the grapes harvested and fermented separately to capture the unique characters of this special plot. This is a wonderful white wine with passionfruit notes, excellent fruit concentration, a touch of pineapple and a long finish that has a lovely crunchiness to it, like a super fresh Granny Smith apple.

"I love making wine from this plot of vines each vintage and this bottling has a lovely bright fruitiness and juicy mid-palate. The finish is long and balanced, and I love the tanginess that lingers." - Ben Snyman, Winemaker.
