Cape Of Good Hope
This is a range created in recognition of the Cape of Good Hope’s vinous heritage which stretches back more than 350 years when the first Governor of the Cape planted grapes. These unique wines are the result of irreplaceable parcels of old vines and site specific terroirs. The labels reflect the grape variety as well as the origin and singular characters behind them.
Description
Bright citrus aromas of lime and lemon underpin nectarine abundance. Ripe stonefruit –, peach and more nectarine – are discernible on the palate, crisp and tangy with vivid acidity. The broad, creamy oak backing is more than a match for the lively, juicy fruit. There is even a hint of dry autumn leaves and honey which add interest to the complex palate. Well-balanced with a lengthy tail.
Food Pairing
Grilled salmon or soft cheeses.
